To the editor:
I consider myself just as patriotic as the next guy, but I don’t normally brave the traffic and crowds to attend the annual Brunswick-Topsham Memorial Day Parade.
However, this year I did go downtown for the parade and enjoyed myself immensely. Great job by the Memorial Day Committee!
I noted that all the organizations who participated in the parade did something patriotic — patriotic music, patriotic theme or they displayed the American flag — except for the Veterans for Peace.
What kind of statement are they trying to make?
