One veteran told Dias Memorial Day is not necessarily a sad or happy day, but a reflective day.
"Only country with the word 'dream.' There is no German dream, polish dream, but, darn it, there is an American dream," Adams said. Several said there is a phrase that can never be spoken enough. And many made the ultimate sacrifice - sacrifices often forgotten - but following generations are making sure they are not. Like Fort Lee resident Richard Adams, who served in the Navy for four years. Dozens of active members unfurled a 100-foot American flag and an aircraft flyover in missing man formation made the day extra special.
