Never forget

Lest we forget, yesterday was not just another holiday.

That’s why it was so good to see the turnout along State Street in Media.

Young, old, men, women, black, white and just about every other ethnicity gathered as Americans.

They were there to salute those who don a uniform in service to their country.

Media Mayor Bob McMahon noted that the crowds were bigger this year, as was the parade. There were more participants, more bands, and more people lining the street.

Last week record numbers took part in one of the basic tenets of our democracy. They went to their polling place and cast their ballots.

On Tuesday a lot of people took the time to honor those who protect that sacred rite.

We’d like to add our salute.

Never forget.
