Washington, D.C., and cities across the United States held Memorial Day parades and ceremonies Monday, honoring service members who died in military service. The National Memorial Day Parade in Washington held opening ceremonies at 9 a.m. with a 10 a.m. step-off along Constitution Avenue, while Chicago-area communities and Tri-State towns staged local parades and memorial services. Organizers and local officials managed route plans, road closures, and safety measures; some sites modified logistics due to weather. Leonia moved its post-parade ceremony indoors at American Legion Post 1 at noon, Elmhurst unveiled an 'Elmhurst 250 Bell,' Florence, Kentucky enforced road closures beginning 9:45 a.m., and several cemeteries conducted scheduled services and wreath-layings this week.
