LOCAL EVENTS: Happy Veterans Day

My last year's Veterans Day post is HERE. 

Our National Anthem:  An excellent performance by combined military academies  HERE

I am sure that there are many Veterans Day parades around our country.  In our city, it will be held on Saturday morning, 11:00 a.m. in downtown Orlando.  I missed it last year but it was televised on Channel 13 over that weekend.

The City's Veterans Day Parade offers a unique and patriotic opportunity for the Central Florida community to honor our men and women in the armed forces. Prior to the start of the parade we will pay tribute to those who fought for our country and defend our freedom in a ceremony with Mayor Buddy Dyer and local veterans.


The parade will consist of a variety of participants including: men and women from over 150 Central Florida veterans' organization, active duty military, high school marching bands and JROTCs, City of Orlando firefighters and police officers and floats that were featured in the Gasparilla parade in Tampa.
