Memorial Day in Chester Borough

On Memorial Day, our family was proud to join with friends and neighbors at the fire house to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It was especially moving to hear local service members read aloud the names of Chester's war dead - from the Civil War through Vietnam. The BBQs (and door knocking) were a lot of fun afterwards, but we're glad our children took a quiet moment to appreciate the true purpose of Memorial Day and the freedoms we enjoy.
