REMEMBERING Reader recalls Memorial Day

| June 3, 2011 6:00 AM

Standing between the silent ranks, the future generation stood in remembrance. The whispering sound of marching, flags in the light breeze, and silent prayer the only intrusion. On Memorial Day, cadets of the Columbia Basin squadron of the Civil Air Patrol stood among veterans of our country to pay homage to those in the ranks who have fallen before.

Today is the day they had been promised, a day to remember them by.
