Veterans will be served for free. Indiana’s annual Veteran’s Day Parade will start at 10:45 at the intersection of 5th and Philadelphia Street and work its way to 9th and Philadelphia Street. The parade will stop at 11:00 AM for a moment of silence and performances of the Star Spangled Banner and Taps by both the IUP and the Indiana High School Marching Bands. The parade will also feature military vehicles and scout troops paying tribute to veterans.
The Indiana parade will also be broadcast on Renda Digital TV.
Blairsville’s VFW and American Legion will host their community’s parade to start at 10:30 this morning at the Football Stadium on Grandview Avenue, then turning left onto East Market Street. The parade will continue down Market Street ending at the Veteran’s Memorial on West Market and Water Streets for a memorial service.
Police in both communities are reminding people that there will be road closures in effect around the parade route, so allow for some extra time when heading out to the parade.
