Memorial Day parade, ceremony inspire crowds to cheer, remember
Navy veteran Randy Klaus marched in Saturday’s Memorial Day parade, then stopped at the end to watch as the rest of the participants walked by. “My three favorite days are Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Veterans’ Day,” said Mr. Klaus of Toledo, remarking that some of the spectators who lined the downtown Toledo streets thanked him as he went past. A patriotic crowd staked out spots along the route as police motorcycles revved up and led a long and sometimes loud procession of marching bands, military vehicles, clowns, and candy throwers.
