Arlington Heights Memorial Day Parade Canceled; Drive By Salute In Memorial Park Happening Instead

CHICAGO (CBS) -- For another year a familiar sight will not be happening in Arlington Heights. The city is holding off on its Memorial Day parade, saying hosting a large gathering would be too risky for children, who have not had a chance to get a COVID-19 vaccine yet.

Instead neighbors can download and print a yard sign honoring the 58 fallen heroes from Arlington Heights.

There will also be a drive-by salute happening in Memorial Park Monday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. for people who would like to honor the fallen in person.
