The 123rd observance of Memorial Day was held at the
Hamptonburgh Cemetery. County Historian, Ted Sly was
the principal speaker. "You are the people of the next
century, I am of this century." He stressed that the torch
of freedom is being passed to them. They must preserve
the tradition of honoring those that gave their lives for the
sake of democracy.
