The West Hartford Veterans’ Commssion issued the following message Monday morning regarding the parade.
“Due to the weather forecast for this morning, the West Hartford Memorial Day parade scheduled for today at 10 a.m. is cancelled. The West Hartford Memorial Day Ceremony will take place in Town Hall in the council chambers at 11 a.m. The West Hartford Veterans’ Commission would like to thank all parade participants and we look forward to seeing you next year.”
This holiday is about honoring those men and women who have sacrificed there lifes and you can’t have a parade in the rain?
What a shame today was. They cancelled the parade (at 8:00am) based on a forecast. That meant it was canceled based on the potential for rain, which didn’t even happen. What a terrible message to send to all the kids looking forward to marching today. They are not snowflakes. WH should be ashamed of themselves.
