Annual memorial sees new faces in Boundary Park
CRANBERRY TWP — Doves lifted into the sun-filled sky above the veterans memorial in North Boundary Park.
The doves followed a 21-gun salute and multiple speakers as part of Cranberry Township’s Memorial Day service Sunday that drew about 300 people to the large, carved rock memorial that serves as a reminder for those who have been lost fighting for American freedom.
Memorial chairman Rex Brown, retired from the U.S. Army and Air Force, said the event is a lot of work, but its meaning makes it worth the effort. He said seeing the attendance grow year after year is a bonus.
“I’m tickled,” Brown said. “It’s a great feeling to see people take the time.”
