Memorial Day Service

American Legion Post 522 of Lewisville sponsored this year’s Memorial Day Service (on May 31, 2010) at the Veterans Memorial in Shallowford Square. Hundreds from the Lewisville community gathered to honor the military men and women who have given their lives in service to our country.

The Memorial Day program included a vintage military vehicle exhibition and a flyover by pilot Bill Kyle in a World War II-era plane, the T6 Trainer. During the roughly one-hour program, the audience enjoyed special music that included vocalists and bagpipes, as well as a message by guest speaker Tom Summy. Members of American Legion Post 522 also served as the honor guard, the rifle squad and bugler.

    When someone looks at one of my photographs, I want it to touch all their senses. I want them to feel the gust of wind that blew the man's hat off, or the gentle breeze that moved the curtains. They can almost hear the music that the lovers were dancing to or even be able to draw on a memory of what the day in the photo smelled like. —Marsha Cairo
