Washington (CNN) Bill and Hillary Clinton continued their tradition of honoring US service members by walking in Monday's Memorial Day parade in Chappaqua, New York.

"A rainy but wonderful morning march in the Chappaqua Memorial Day Parade," Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, tweeted Monday. "Thinking of our veterans who gave their lives for this country."

"It is a good way to remember our veterans and particularly those who gave their lives or were grievously injured," Clinton told CNN at the parade in 2015 .
