In the absence of an official Memorial Day service, Milton citizens decided to hold one of their own in Memorial Park May 26.
The short service was organized by Councilman Tom Arkinson and former Councilman Sam Garde, himself a veteran of the Navy who shared stories of his service. The event concluded with a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance before the crowd dispersed.
