Last year’s inaugural parade featured about 100 groups commemorating the service of veterans. This year, organizers say the parade will feature an F-18 flyover and procession with military units, local groups and veterans’ organizations.
There will be a veteran services area, for; gathering resources and support for veterans and their families; a military vehicle showcase; and a drone show following the parade.
Organizers also encourage spectators to bring new, unwrapped toys. The event is working with Toys for Tots, a national program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve that provides underprivileged children with toys.
