Memorial Day Saline has returned to pre-pandemic form.
Boy Scout Troop 439 hosts a pancake breakfast fundraiser from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Monday, May 29, at the Saline Area Fire Department, 205 E. Michigan Ave.
It's the first time since 2019 the firehouse has hosted a breakfast that was for years part of the traditional Memorial Day activities in Saline.
At 10 a.m., the annual Memorial Day Parade parade begins. It starts on Michigan Avenue at Harris Street and proceeds west before ending at Oakwood Cemetery, where there will be a service.
The Saline High School Marching Band, New Horizons Band, Saline Twirlettes, and scouting groups will be among the 20-plus entrants in the parade.
US Navy Senior Chief Hull Technician Jason D. LeVasseur will be the special speaker at the cemetery. Mayor Brian Marl is also expected to provide remarks.
Following the service, the public is invited to a luncheon across the street at the Saline American Legion Hall, 320 W. Michigan Ave. Robison-Bahnmiller Funeral Home sponsors the luncheon.
Veteran Tim Driscoll has been organizing the Saline Memorial Day activities for years.
"The addition of the pancake breakfast makes us whole again," Driscoll said. "Memorial Day in Saline is a wonderful event and I really wouldn't want to change anything about it. It's a hometown institution that spans the generations."
Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed to honor the American military personnel who died in service to the country.
In 2020, there was no official Memorial Day parade due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021, the ceremony at Oakwood Cemetery resumed. In 2022, the parade returned. This year, the pancake breakfast is back.
The pancake and sausage breakfast, served by King Pancake Co.) costs $5 a person or $20 a family.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
