Memorial observance

The observance is outdoors when the weather allows, and in the hall when it does not. Detachment 286 reads the names the detachment has been given, stands for a moment of silence, and invites the town to stay for coffee — Downingtown, PA.

The members start planning in March. A speaker, a musician if one is free, and a wreath from the same florist they have used for years. The aim is a half hour the town can count on — Downingtown, PA.
