Georgians honor fallen service members on Memorial Day

Across metro Atlanta, Memorial Day was marked with marches, parades and tributes. At Stone Mountain, veterans, active-duty Navy SEALs and Army personnel carried flags up the rock, then gathered for a picnic, as one veteran said the day honors those who never came home. Roswell hosted its annual Roswell Remembers ceremony, and a parade in Davula featured more than 90 groups, led by World War II veteran Charlie Wilson as grand marshal. Hundreds later gathered at Marietta National Cemetery, where organizers stressed the cost of freedom amid graves dating to the Revolutionary War.
