A Norfolk neighborhood is preparing to honor fallen service members this Memorial Day — while also paying tribute to the late Lt. Col. Brandon Shah.
Memorial Day Parade to continue as organizers monitor weather
The Larchmont-Edgewater Civic League will host its fourth annual Memorial Day parade, community fair, and wreath-laying ceremony Monday morning, with organizers prepared to make adjustments if rain moves in. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and features a 1.2-mile parade beginning at St. Patrick Catholic School and ending near Larchmont United Methodist Church.
This year’s honorary grand marshal is Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, the Old Dominion University ROTC instructor killed during an on-campus shooting in March.

This is the price of freedom.”
Several events will happen across Hampton Roads. At 10:00 a.m., Portsmouth’s 142nd Annual Memorial Day Parade will begin along High and Court streets. 10:00 a.m. in Suffolk will see the Annual Ceremony at the Albert G. Horton Junior Memorial Veterans Cemetery. Virginia Beach’s ceremony will be at 12:00 p.m. inside the convention center and will feature live music and remarks from distinguished guests.
