georgewelty photography: Memorial Day 2015


George writes, "I believe today marked the 42nd straight years that I shot the Westminster Memorial Day parade. Today was the 148th Memorial Day celebration in Westminster. I have seen about 60 0f the parades.It is said that Westminster has the longest continuous Memorial Day celebration in the United States. I love shooting the parade, even if you see the same groups and people every year as they are honoring those that served their country. Nothing beats seeing the Westminster Municipal Band march down Main Street to start the parade."
