Memorial Day Surprise by Theresa Golding, Alexandra
Artigas (Illustrator)
A Mom tells her son that there is a "big surprise" at the Memorial Day
Celebration. As the boy watches the parade, he asks if
each part of the parade is the "surprise" - from the marching band, to
waving flags, to children riding their bikes with red, white and blue
streamers, and to firefighters in their truck. Mother always tells him
that the real surprise is even more special. At the end of the parade,
people stand and applaud. The boy then sees his grandfather, a veteran,
being pushed in a wheelchair. His surprise is realizing that his grandfather
is a hero.
