Cape Coral’s thank-you to its rich veteran population was back again this year, with the Veterans Day Parade stepping off along Cape Coral Parkway the Saturday before Nov. 11.
Marching down the parkway starting at 11 a.m. — right around the same time the armistice was signed and hostilities ended 108 years ago marking the end of World War I — Southwest Florida’s proud military and veteran community was on full display.
“In a continuation of the 250th anniversary of America, our new flag and flagpole we have in Cape Coral, the awesome 4th of July — now it’s a chance to celebrate all the people that served this nation and serve the nation currently in a great parade,” said city Special Events Coordinator Todd King.
“This is the only parade in Lee County. It’s well attended, and we’re excited to put it on. We’re always excited to recognize our veterans and the sacrifice they made. It’s always an honor to put on a fabulous parade for our veterans.”
Veterans Day is a designated national holiday to honor all of the men and women who have served across all spectrums of the United States Armed Forces and to commemorate their sacrifice to ensure the freedoms we have today as Americans.
More than 20 local veterans and organizations representing various branches of the military took part.
