This video was created by Andrew Capets in lieu of a public Memorial Day service for May 25, 2020. Please take a few minutes to view this video and reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day, honoring those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Due to COVID-19 guidelines put forth by the CDC and PA Department of Health, a public Memorial Day service will not take place. Instead, a private ceremony of not more than 25 people was held by the Trafford American Legion Post 331.
