When I was a kid, going to the Memorial Day Parade was a super big deal.
It’s organized and yes they are paid $200 a day they were recruiting on Craigslist.

The real Memorial Day (May 30 until the Monday holiday started) was also my birthday and a fun day with big parades and fireworks at night as a kid. WWII had ended and lots of veterans were around including my father.
