Rich Pries, Commander at the Kingston American Legion Black Diamond Post 395, left, presented an award to Don Williams, right, and his sister, Diana LeVasseur, honoring the Williams family for participating in the Wyoming Valley Memorial Day Parade for 129 consecutive years. The parade was canceled this year due to the pandemic. Commander Pries is not wearing a mask because he breathes through his throat, requiring him to wear a protective covering.
