Correction

Lieutenant Commander David M. Amidon, honorary marshal of the Granby Memorial Day Parade, served in the U.S. Navy during Vietnam and the Cold War. His actual service duties were reported incorrectly in my article in the July/August issue, Memorial Day parade and ceremony honors fallen heroes. My apologies to Dave and sincere appreciation for his service.
