Memorial Day Preparations

May 26, 1943, Menasha Record
In the midst of World War II, Neenah and Menasha prepared for the 1943 Memorial Day parade.  It was certainly a time to not only reflect upon all the war dead who had come before, but also to offer special consideration to those who had perished in the fight for freedom in the current war going on.  As Mr. Gutzmann from the local VFW so eloquently said, we honor those who "...gave their lives for the defense of liberty and justice to all American men and women of the United States."  

Enjoy the long weekend but please give a thought to that sentiment.
