All Veterans are asked to march as a group in the Apple Butter Making Days Parade on Saturday Morning!

We will assemble at the Christian Church NLT than 8am and walk/ride from there to the square during the parade. You'll likely have time to get back and join your family for the rest of the parade when we're through.

Small American flags will be handed out to the crowd to wave us on and we'll invite other Veterans to join and walk with us.

While many will ride on a trailer or float, we also need able-bodied folks ready to push a wheelchair or two. Wear military/veteran hats, clothing, Veteran group vest, or whatever!

This is our opportunity to show the community the presence of Veterans and to honor service to the nation! Come join in!

Honored to have the National Commander of the American Legion and his entourage visit Post 137 in Mt Vernon today! He spoke highly of our community efforts and the Legion’s su***de prevention efforts called for”Be the One” who reaches out to Veterans and all in need of support! Great to have the National touch here at home!
