American Red Cross volunteers gathered for a Rolling Rally at the Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea Monday to honor veterans this Memorial Day.

Nearly 50 volunteers, their cars and the Plymouth Area Vietnam Veterans Association and their welcome home Huey helicopter float paid their respects to the residents at the Soldiers’ Home.

The event was coordinated by the Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces program to honor the men and women who gave their lives for the United States.
