The Glacier Area neighborhood came out in full force Monday to honor Memorial Day. More than 400 people lined the streets of the neighborhood to watch a parade and then gathered in Glacier Highlands Park for a ceremony honoring the American Flag and American soldiers killed in the line of duty.
Click on the speaker in the upper left corner for a quick listen to the bagpipes and drum line in the parade:
From babies all the way to World War II veterans, onlookers were treated to a display that included bagpipes, a drum line and antique cars.
