Shelter Island’s 2021 Memorial Day ceremonies won’t be completely virtual, such as last year’s event caused by the pandemic, but it will be scaled back “to keep the crowds down,” said American Legion Commander Dave Clark.
Missing will be the extensive parade in the Center along North Ferry Road, with veterans in antique cars, scouts and Fire Department volunteers marching along with department vehicles and a communal picnic after. A shorter parade is slated, with only Legionnaires, the Auxiliary, the Daughters of the American Revolution, Fire Department and Emergency Medial Services volunteers marching.
