American Legion requesting volunteers and support for Memorial Day activities by Dave Tanguay


American Legion Field-Allen Post 148 of Windham has been coordinating the Town of Windham’s Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony for over 20 years.  
 
Looking ahead to Monday, May 29, the Post is again reaching out to the community for some specific
support.

First, please mark your calendar and support the area veterans on this patriotic day. The events start at 9 a.m. with the parade held on the section of Route 202, from School Road to Windham High School, crossing Windham Center Road.  

Following the parade, there will be a Memorial Day Ceremony in front of Windham High School at the Veteran’s Memorial at 10 a.m. 

There will also be an open house and picnic at the Windham Veterans Center, 35 Veterans Memorial Drive, North Windham at noon.  

The Legion is extending an open invitation to any organization, group, or business that would like to assist in honoring our veterans by joining the parade as a unit or a float. 

This year, the Post would like to honor our WWII veterans with rides in the parade. Currently one convertible is available and there is a need for two or three additional convertibles. If you can provide this service or have any questions, contact Post Adjutant, Dave Tanguay at: 892-1306
