Preparing to honor our heroes









The flags along the streets are in place. Homes in the Village of Jordan are sprucing up from the long winter. Our local veteran's are preparing for the placement of the first group of names on the Veteran's Memorial Wall.




All will be ready by Monday May 26th. Memorial Day - Jordan.


Five (5) commemoration services will take place around the village. The final commemoration will take place at the Veteran's Memorial located on North Main Street at 2:30 pm.



The Parade of Bands will step-off at 3:00 pm. Immediately after the Parade of Bands enjoy the Massing of the Bagpipes which will take place on North Main Street in front of the Veteran's Memorial.


Ten bands, marching units, fire trucks, antique cars & tractors, floats, live reptiles and much more will parade around the village in perfect style. The streets will be lined with hundreds or maybe thousands of residents and visitors.


The First Baptist Church of Jordan will host their annual chicken bar-b-Que on North Main Street at the Masonic Lodge. A little further North on North Main Street St. Patrick's Church will be selling hot dogs and sausage sandwiches. Daddabbo's Pizza at the Four-Corners will be open with all their great food.
