Memorial Day In The Bitterroot
Longtime Corvallis American Legion Post 91 member Frank Mason was Grand Marshal of the annual Memorial Day Parade (photos below) that highlighted the activities on a warm Monday in the Bitterroot Valley.
The parade has been held every year for 101 years, including last year during the pandemic. However, this year, the crowds along the parade route were larger than normal, and the route, starting at the north end of main street at the Corvallis High School, turned at the Corvallis cut-off road and extended another two blocks, with crowds along the roadside all the way.
A little later in the day, Corvallis Post 91 also read names of veterans buried at the Corvallis Cemetery, then they met at the Woodside Bridge and dropped a wreath in the Bitterroot River to remember those who perished at sea in service to the country.
