More photos from yesterday's Norwood Park Memorial Day Parade

Original post on page one.

This is Parade Grand Marshal Raymond Gurga. According to the Norwood Park Chamber of Commerce & Industry website, Mr. Gurga served as a photographer for Allied bombing missions over German industrial targets. The Chamber site says he was stationed in Great Britain from 1942 to 1945. It specifically mentions Mr. Gurga's service in the 493d Bombardment Group.

Here's State Representative Michael P. McAuliffe (R-20). Forty-first Ward Alderman Doherty was at the parade also, working his way back along the route from Taft back toward Onahan School, where the parade stepped off. Doherty had a van with his banner on it at nearly the very end of the parade. The only other politician who participated this year was Water Reclamation District Commissioner Frank Avila.

And here are some other marchers....
