The fourth annual Veterans Day Parade stepped off on Saturday morning to the delight of hundreds of residents lining the sidewalks of Bowlin and Porter roads.
On a sunny, windy morning, people gathered to honor the men and women who serve this nation in the military among a sea of red, white and blue. The parade included families of current service members and families of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
