Freehold Memorial Day Parade Brings Out ‘The Boss’
Bruce Springsteen was seen taking in the 143rd annual event in his hometown. Organizers say it’s NJ’s oldest continuous Memorial Day parade.
The freehold parade is a tradition I have enjoyed for many years. It gives one an opportunity not only to update on all the groups within the town but reunite with folks you haven’t seen in a long time. It is a heartwarming tradition that I am sure we shall all miss this year
Hopefully we will get together next year for this classic
