Memorial Day in 2015 started out soggy and ended in a rainfall, but no one should say nothing happened in those 12 hours.
Parades, reunions, and salutes to deceased veterans were held throughout the area as families, friends and patriots gathered to remember and offer thanks. This year much of that attention was focused on John Mattek, a Langlade County native who died just a decade ago in Iraq.
The rain scuttled outdoor activities in Antigo sending them into a crowded American Legion Hall, but the parades were rolling, Mattoon, Phlox, Elcho and Summit Lake.
