A memorable day at Memorial Park I wish to give credit to Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale for the beautiful Memorial Day service that was held starting at the Little Church of the Flowers. I've been an employee there for many years and remember the outstanding Memorial Day service we had in the park with bands, speakers and parades. I realize times changed with the Vietnam War and people weren't as patriotic, so the services were cut back. But now we've come full circle.
