05/30/2005: "Memorial Day - Friday Harbor - 2005"

Friday Harbor A large crowd and members of the American Legion listen to 90 year old veteran Mr. Brown, who landed in Normandy on D-day as a member of the infantry. He and his unit walked and fought 800 miles across Europe to the outskirts of Berlin. A moving account of his experiences was given by family members Harvey Brown, his son, and by Boy Scout Mitchell, his step-grandson, who has applied to the Air Force Academy. The Legionaries in the chairs represented all of the arms of the services.
