Memorial Day observances mix solemnity with waning pageantry
Navy Secretary Graham Claytor spoke at Arlington as the nation paid tribute to war dead with a deep sense of gratitude. Across America parades and picnics appeared in balmy weather, though New York City offered a subdued ceremony after a flag was stolen. In Arlington, families and groups placed wreaths amid cloudy skies, while a group honoring missing children saluted with red roses. In Manhattan the memorial parade drew about 300 residents, with subdued Sousa marches and a fading sense of the holiday’s past grandeur.
