Maricopa’s Veterans Day Parade took over the Bowlin/Porter area Saturday morning, organized by the American Legion Auxiliary to celebrate the community’s military veterans. Local organizations, school groups, scouting troops and veterans themselves walked and rode the distance between Central Arizona College and Leading Edge Academy, which then hosted lunch for veterans and their families.
