The Eastwood American Legion Post 1276 has been hosting the Eastwood Memorial Day Parade (the City’s only Memorial Day Parade) for over 70 years. Photos below from “Did You Know? A History and Memories of Eastwood, New York, Book 1” by Margaret McVicker, 2010.

2023 was the first year the parade was jointly presented by the Legion and ENA and we had a great turnout - we distributed 450 flags to parade spectators! Memorial Day 2023 was the 75th anniversary of the dedication of the monument in Greenway Veterans’ Memorial Park, which was initially funded by the Eastwood American Legion Post 1276 and the Eastwood Lions Club, and all were happy to see the parade return after a three-year hiatus.
