Veterans Day Parade
To honor Veterans Day on November 11th, I went to watch the local 90th annual Veterans Day Parade which the city of San Jose boasts to rival the one put on by New York City. The 2-hour parade paid tribute to all veterans through the years, the different branches of the armed forces, POWs, the Red Cross, veterans of various ethnical groups, Shriner groups, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, JROTC, high school marching bands, ...etc.
One can't help but feel patriotic with all the flag waving, military themed music playing, and the clapping by the audience as veterans walked through the parade route.

Looks like a nice parade, we didn't go to the one here in Bend, I assume they had one but never did hear about how it went.Love those old cars
I love a parade but don't go to them like I used to.
Splendid post for Veterans Day. Thank you so much for the photos--I felt like I was there on the sidewalk.
A very good set of photos...I felt very patriotic looking at the great uniforms!
Even the cars were veterans ;-)
