This patriotic sound-and-picture poem captures the emotion and color of one community's Memorial Day celebration. The victories, the bravery, the defeats, and the tragedies of war are brought home in a traditional parade and memorial service seen through the eyes of small-town Americans, both young and old, playful and introspective, who gather to pay tribute. The holiday is both serious and celebratory, and this film beautifully conveys the complex feelings that all Americans share about Memorial Day.
