Pickup will be at the American Legion in Amagansett at 8 a.m. and at the V.F.W. on Montauk Highway in East Hampton at 8:15 a.m.

Monday’s events start at Main Beach in East Hampton at 8:45 a.m. with a tribute to those lost at sea. Participants in the East Hampton Memorial Day Parade will begin lining up at 9:45 a.m. at the Presbyterian Church and will step off at 10. The parade will end at the war monument near the Hook Mill, where there will be a service with awards presentations and a speech by Conlon Carabine, who grew up here and retired from the Marine Corps with the rank of major.
