Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May in the United States. On this day, we honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives while serving in the U.S. military. In 1956, Past Commander and member of the 4th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Mr. Charles W. Riddle, took part in the local Memorial Day Parade. Mr. Riddle had fought in the Spanish American War in 1898. At age 82, he was attending his 54th parade in Delaware. He was honoring his son, Tech. Sgt. Richard K. Riddle, who was killed by a bomber crash off the coast of Maine on September 2, 1942 during World War II. Also pictured are some various Memorial Day parades of the past from Delaware and Ashley.
