LAPEER — Dozens of Lapeer Area families attended Monday’s Memorial Day parking lot parade and ceremony in Downtown Lapeer that was organized by the Veterans Esteem Team (VET), a local student-led group. While our sister paper, The County Press, covered the parade and ceremony, the Lapeer Area View team set out to capture some of the younger attendees.
