St. Bernard Parish to hold Veterans' Parade Wednesday, November 10

Veterans' Recognition Ceremony at 9 a.m. at Veterans Monument

will be followed by parade



St. Bernard Parish President Craig P. Taffaro, Jr. will hold a Veterans'
Recognition Ceremony at the Veterans Monument in front of the Sigur Civic
Center on Wednesday, November 10 at 9 a.m. Immediately following the
ceremony, a parade will roll east on West Judge Perez from the monument to
The Mall.



President Taffaro would like to invite veterans from all branches of the
military to the ceremony and to be in the parade, which will have vehicles
for the elderly or disabled veterans. Any children whose parents or siblings
are active duty service men or women serving away from home are welcome to
walk in front of the veterans and hold signs or posters with photographs of
their relatives with messages.



The St. Bernard Parish Government Events Committee is coordinating the
parade that is expected to begin around 10 a.m.



Everyone is invited to attend the ceremony and the brief parade meant to
honor our veterans for all of the sacrifices they have made for us. Any
veterans and any children with parents or siblings who are active duty away
from home who wish to participate should contact the President's Office at
504-278-4227 so the committee can better plan for the event.
