[StBernard] St. Bernard Parish to hold Veterans' Parade and Ceremony Thurs., Nov. 10

[Westley Annis]

Gee, didn't you just know it there was going to be a Veterans Day parade and
the person leading the way would be no other than.....Craig Taffaro.  In an
election year and especially right before election day, I would have taken
the higher road and made certain to refrain from as much obvious free
publicity as possible.  But for Emperor Napoleon Craig I this should come as
no surprise.  Milk it baby, milk it!

St. Bernard Parish to hold Veterans' Parade and Ceremony Thurs., Nov. 10 

All Veterans and their families are invited to participate

  

St. Bernard Parish President Craig P. Taffaro, Jr. will hold a Veterans' Day
Parade Thurs., Nov. 10 at 8:30 a.m. that will begin at The Mall at 8700 W.
Judge Perez Drive in Chalmette. The parade will leave The Mall and head west
to the Sigur Civic Center where a Recognition Ceremony at the Veterans
Monument will be held immediately following the parade.

 

President Taffaro would like to invite veterans from all branches of the
military to be recognized at the ceremony and to be in the parade, which
will have vehicles for the elderly or disabled veterans. The Trist Middle
School Band and Cheerleaders will perform in the parade. Any veterans who
wish to participate should contact the Lenor Duplessis in the President's
Office at 504-278-4331.  

 

"Recognizing our veterans as a community is an important celebration," said
President Taffaro, who has held veterans ceremonies for two years and
expanded the event to include a parade last year as was done before Katrina.
"Those veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice and those who continue to
walk amongst us deserve our respect and honor. Our small parade is a small
token of our gratitude."

 

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. The St.
Bernard Parish Events Committee is coordinating the event. Call the Lenor
Duplessis of the President's Office at 504-278-4331 for more information.
