Members of the Baldwin Hot Rod Association, in collaboration with the Baldwin American Legion Post 246, organized a car parade on May 25 that led to the veterans memorial in Silver Lake Park on Foxhurst Road, where a small ceremony took place.
The parade began at around 10:30 a.m. from Weir Street in South Hempstead, and featured military vehicles, classic cars and motorcycles.
“I wanted to get together with my car club and give everybody a Memorial Day,” said Steven Burke, one of the founding members of the Baldwin Hot Rod Association. “I wanted to show the community that hope still exists.”
