• YES, the rumors are true! The Lions are participating in the National Memorial Day parade in Washington DC....Please give consideration to attending: The National Memorial Day Parade – 2:00 PM – May 25, 2009 in  Washington, DC – Constitution Avenue (7^th-17^th Streets, NW). See the details linked below...

  The Parade is presented by the American Veterans Center, it is held annually in Washington DC, and is an opportunity for thousands of patriotic Americans to come together and honor those who have sacrificed so much in service to our country. The event celebrates all those who have served in uniform from the American Revolution to Operation Iraqi Freedom, and seeks to educate the public about the meaning of this hallowed day. The National Memorial Day Parade has quickly become a tradition in which Americans of all ages and generations can share. It's the right thing to do!
