HONORING AMERICAN VETERANS
The North Ridgeville Lions Club and VFW Post 9871 invite everyone to come to the North Ridgeville Memorial Parade and ceremonies on Monday, May 26th and show your American Pride and Honor the service men and women who have given their all to protect the freedoms we so enjoy.

My Grandfather passed away April
7th on his Birthday. After trying to find someone to do a Military Burial and many turn downs. North Ridgeville VFW gave him the most honorable ceremony we could have ever asked for. Although he was in the Korean war many years ago he still fought still earned stars and still should be remembered as a Vet. Thankyou soo much North Ridgeville VFW you will never be forgotten. Your answer to our prayers will always be in our hearts. Thankyou D.Tedrow
In Memory of Fred Bruce
For a small town, North Ridgeville puts on a wonderful parade for Memorial Day. The weather is supposed to be great, so please come out and enjoy the parade and ceremonies afterward.
Also, the North Ridgeville VFW supports a variety of great causes. Last fall, among other things, they donated a stab-proof vest for one of the Sheriff's Department canines. I'm sure they were honored to recognize your grandfather for his service to our country. Keep up the good work, you make us proud!
