Nominate a Grand Marshal
Grand Marshal nominations for the 2025 Veterans Day Parade are now open! This year’s theme is “Veterans Forming Future Leaders,” recognizing the importance of youth engagement. The ideal grand marshal nominee should be a Veteran who has had a positive impact on the lives of our young people as an educator, mentor, coach, etc.
