Monday morning started with the loud sound of marching bands and plenty of flag waving for the Ypsilanti Memorial Day Parade. A large crowd watched as a number of local veteran organizations, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts troops, government officials and others marched through the center of Ypsilanti. Two ceremonies took place; one on the Cross Street bridge, and another in the Highland Cemetery.
The route started on Huron street near Catherine and continued north until it turned on to Cross. After the first flag presentation, speeches and gun salute, the parade resumed on North River Street where the second ceremony began in the cemetery.
