Marine Corps band, F-15 fly-over, highlight Reedsport event
A few raindrops were not enough to keep a hearty crowd from turning-out in downtown Reedsport on Monday to take part in Memorial Day festivities, including a pair of fly-overs.
The day was all about honoring and remembering those who have served, and those who have given all, for their country.
Following a mid-day parade, a throng gathered at Hahn Memorial Park for a Memorial Day Service.
It included a speech from Co-Speaker of the Oregon House Arnie Roblan, members of the World War II Oregon L.S.T. organization, the Color Guard from the U.S. Coast Guard Station Umpqua River, and a special appearance by the 29 Palms Marine Corps Band.
A pair of F15's from the U.S. Air Force 142nd Fighter Wing performed a fly-over. As did a Stearman Bi-Plane piloted by Sam Spayed.
The event was capped-off by a skydive by Jamie Lynn, including a giant, 35ft x 65ft, American Flag.
