Members of the Stamford Fire Department stand at parade rest as they wait for the Memorial Day services to begin in Veteran's Park on Monday.

Despite a rain-soaked weekend, which included Monday, a good crowd turned out in Stamford's Veterans Park as Mayor Robert Schneider gave a speech as members of the Stamford Veterans Club conducted the ceremonies.
