Veterans from each of the six armed service branches are lauded during the annual Veterans Day parade downtown. The annual federal holiday honors military veterans and coincides with the anniversary of the end of World War I, Nov. 11, 1918.
The 22 Until None float passes by in the Veterans Day parade downtown. The organization aims to end veteran suicide. For more information, visit 22untilnone.org.
