The parade began at 11 a.m. and followed the traditionally parade route down Branson Landing Blvd. before connecting with Commercial Street. This year, the Veterans Day parade included more than 70 participates, featuring veterans’ organizations from near and far, school district bands, area businesses, non-profits, classic cars, tractors state and city leaders and other patriotic floats.
