PLATTSBURGH — Ceremonies honoring fallen soldiers will take place across the North Country this Memorial Day weekend, including flags flown at half staff until noon Monday and taps performed by local students and fundraising events for veteran efforts. 'People should know it is not just the beginning of the summer. It is about those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of their country. A lot of people see it as a great day to have a barbeque, but it really is more than that,' Joe Patnode, American Legion Post 1619 Commander, said.
