<link>http://www.fcchanson.org/Article556.html</link>
<description>Our church is once again participating in the Hanson Memorial Day Parade.  If you would like to march with our float, we are meeting at Indian Head School at 9:15 a.m. (Parents, please fill out a Permission Slip for your child/children to march in the Parade.)  We will walk with our float all the way to Fern Hill Cemetery. Following the speeches we will then gather at our church for pictures and a brief Worship Service where you will be invited to name the names of those you want to honor and remember.

Whether you want to march or simply stand on the sidelines and cheer as we go by, I hope you will take the time to join us as we honor those who have given their lives for our country.  </description>
