Somerville's annual Memorial Day parade will happen this Sunday, starting at 1 pm at City Hall. It will march down Highland Ave. to Davis Square, then up Holland Street to Teele Square, then up Broadway to the Clarendon Hill veterans' cemetery.

From the city's official announcement: "The parade will include 20 marching bands, along with a wide range of community and school groups, specialty unit from the Aleppo Shriners, and local veterans', fire, and police outfits from surrounding cities and towns."

Please note the parking restrictions in the official announcement. Buses will not run to Clarendon Hill between 11 am and 4 pm.

It's a parade to honor the memories of all of those gone before. Please don't make this political.

I'll be marching. Look for the girl in uniform.

I'll look for you, though I doubt you'll be the only 'girl in uniform'. What group are you marching in?

The last two times I marched I was, in fact, the only girl in uniform (sad but true). I hope that's changed.

VFW of course.

And somehow I managed to miss you and the entire VFW marching delegation, even though I was specifically looking for you all ;-(
