Veterans Day Parade Nov 7, 2020
Every year, the MCVSO organizes and hosts our community's Veterans Day Parade. Community and military leaders share
their thoughts on this important day of remembrance, and scores of area clubs, community groups, military service
organizations, high school bands, JROTC units, Fort Campbell soldiers and hundreds of spectators gather together to
pay tribute to the men and women, past and present, who have served our country.
