LYNN — Approximately 100 gathered at the sunken gardens at Pine Grove Cemetery on Memorial Day to pay their respects to the more than 37,000 members of the United States Armed Forces from Massachusetts who died while serving since the Revolutionary War. As the All-City Band played a series of patriotic marching tunes, the Lynn Police Color Guard led city officials, state delegation members, and the Lynn English Junior Marine ROTC in a parade from the Manning Field parking lot to Pine Grove. There, the procession circled a plot of 490 flags — each one representing men and women from Lynn who fought and died in service of their country since World War II.
