Hundreds of flag-waving and cheering spectators lined the route of Gainesville’s annual Memorial Day parade, which featured marching bands, politicians, veterans and plenty of noisy emergency vehicles. The 90-minute event particularly highlighted Marine Lance Cpl. Sean Adams, a 2011 Chestatee High School graduate injured after he stepped on a roadside bomb earlier this year in Afghanistan. Adams, who lost both his legs in the explosion, sat in a car driven at the front of the parade by Hall County Sheriff Steve Cronic.
