Friends
This is your Memorial Day Parade. We invite all Citizens - Organizations - Groups to participate. We do not allow Loud Sirens or Candy to be thrown from Cars or Trucks or such things. Memorial Day is not a day to Celebrate as we would on the 4th of July. Memorial Day is a day when we remember the Sacrifice of those who have gone before us. A day when we Honor Veterans Graves with an American Flag and maybe Flowers. Memorial Day is when we all gather and Thank, Honor and Remember those who are not with us on that day!
We invite Floats with our Theme and Patriotic Music. We invite Groups to show their Love of our Country and Community. We want all to be proud and show all around us how we Remember and Honor our Fallen Hero's.
We would love to have any Antique Military Trucks-Jeeps and Such. Also any Antique Cars and Trucks
The Theme of this years parade is to Honor and Remember Operation Overlord 70th Anniversary of D-Day WWII. On June 6th 1944 D-Day began with the landing of 155,000 Allied troops on the beaches of Normandy.
We Welcome and invite all Veterans young and old to step into the Parade anywhere along the route or ride on our trailer/trailers. We also ask any and all Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans to march with us in pride in uniform or street clothes so you can be thanked by our Fantastic Communities for your service!
