Enjoyed East Longmeadow Parade

Having just enjoyed your parade, I would just like to thank all those responsible for the July 4th parade.

It was a honor and privilege to attend and be able to salute a true hero, Sgt. Mark Ecker. There were many signs at the parade stating that "Freedom is not free." This is so true and I hope everyone will realize this and support all our troops. In being a Longmeadow resident it was disappointing not to see any representation for our town.
