More than 800 people came to Verplank to celebrate this year's Merorial Day parade. The 911 Memorial Steel, which the Town of Cortlandt, Village of Croton-on-Hudson, and Village of Buchanan obtained for the creation of a permanent 911 memorial, was on display and was at the forefront of Monday's grand march through town. Local Boy Scouts, B-V Daisy's and high school marching bands, veterans, local fire departments and EMS all participated.

Activities culminated with a speech by Cortlandt Town Supervisor Linda Puglisi, who paid tribute to country's heroes.
