Butler Memorial Day Parade 2023
Monday May 29, 2023
The annual Memorial Day Parade and Service were held in downtown Butler again this year. Waving American Flags and holding small children, local citizens packed both sides of Main Street along the parade route. Calls of "Thank you" and "God Bless You" were audible as the procession traveled from the starting point near Westminster Presbyterian Church to Diamond Park.
As always, the parade was led off by a flag draped casket on a horse-drawn carriage, followed by groups of Veterans, the Butler County Veteran of the Year, the Butler Golden Tornadoes Marching Band, and other community representatives.
Civil Air Patrol Squadron 712 was well represented as we once again led the Penn Township Veterans Association with our Color Guard. Cadets and Senior Member Officers followed the colors and paraded with great pride.
