2012.01.314Description
Tom had a long history with Mercersburg recalling:
"My first experience with the community cemetery at Mercersburg (Pennsylvania) was in 1942, a few days
before I was graduated from Mercersburg Academy. On May 30, the entire student body joined local residents
of Mercersburg in a quiet service to celebrate Memorial Day. It was a beautiful morning and, in the midst of the
dreaded final exams, provided the perfect period of reflection on what had been and what was about to come.
We had been in World War II for six months."
This parade commemorated the 100th anniversary of Mercersburg Academy. The man in the mother-in-law seat is the marshal of the parade.
