You may or may not be aware that the idea of a Memorial Day goes back to 1868 when flowers were place don Union and Confederate soldiers’ graves. You can learn quite a bit of interesting facts on the Internet!
As you travel around the Town of Highlands this Memorial Day weekend, take a moment to — carefully and safely because you’ll probably be driving — look up at the new Military Appreciation banners that are flying along Main St. and Rt. 9W through Fort Montgomery.
If you are planning to purchase a Military Tribute banner for the 2019 season, now is the time to order it, especially if you have strong feelings about whether or not it hangs in Highland Falls versus Fort Montgomery.
