A bright beautiful day for Croton's annual Memorial Day Service; as always, free water provided by the Holy Name of Mary Knights of Columbus, with music by the Croton-Harmon High School band, the Star-Spangled Banner by Dorothy Ferguson, Amazing Grace by Christine Turturro, and an uplifting speech by special guest speaker Captain/Rev. Anthony Stephens of Our Saviour Evangelical Lutheran Church. Father Brian Brennan of Holy Name performed the blessing; the boy scouts were also in attendance.
