Nordonia Hills Memorial Day Parade 2026

Northfield, Ohio – Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6768 will present the Memorial Day Parade, scheduled for Monday, May 25 th . The start time will be 10:00 AM. Our Grand Marshals this year will be Mr. Greg Bogus and Mr. Dan Hudson, both members of our VFW Post 6768. Our annual memorial ceremony will be after the parade at Northfield Macedonia Cemetery. All are encouraged to join in this event. The Memorial Day parade is a somber event to memorialize and honor our Veterans that have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that you and I can enjoy the freedoms that we exercise daily. There will be no sirens, candy or advertising permitted in the parade. When our beloved American flag passes you, please stand, remove your hat, place your hand over your heart and remember those who are no longer with us. Remember the loss that was felt at home by their family and the pain their loved ones endured when they could no longer embrace them. Remember their comrades who fought bravely beside them and the friendship, brotherhood and sisterhood that is incomparable to any other. This is why we have Memorial Day, to remember, to honor and to never forget. This year, The Emergency Assistance Center will be accepting donations at our annual open house. This amazing organization provides support to those in need that reside in our local community. Encouraged donation items can be found on their website www.theemergencyassistancecenter.org or via their Facebook page.
