Songs, solemn words, and flowers paid tribute to the fallen servicemen and women who served our country in the Edgartown School's Memorial Day salute. Due to inclement weather, the annual march to Memorial Wharf was instead held in the school's gymnasium. But patriotic reverence and high spirits won out and a grand time was had by all.
