A larger-than-average number of people turned out for the annual Memorial Day Remembrance hosted by American Legion Dexter Allen Post 90 at the Emma Kelly Theater. They heard keynote speaker Marvin Grimm who, as a Navy hospital corpsman, treated wounded Marines during the Vietnam War, talk about the flag, heroes and the meaning of an empty chair. "From the Revolutionary War to today's world conflicts, fallen American heroes will never be forgotten," Grimm said.
