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.

Last Sunday would have been First Lieutenant Joseph Theinert’s 35th birthday. He gave his life to save others during his tour of duty in Afghanistan where he died on June 4, 2010, the victim of an improvised explosive device.
What Joey’s family did with their grief was to embrace his platoon members, which gave birth to the contribution of land in New Mexico for their use that had been a retreat for his mother and stepfather, Chrys and Francis Kestler.
Visiting with Joey’s platoon members “shaped a lot our ideas about how important it is for veterans to have time to spend with each other in a relaxed environment,” Ms. Kestler said. She and her husband knew the space would be perfect for veterans, their families and Gold Star families.
