From special dinners and music performances to parades and school assemblies, during the past week many local residents either participated in or watched an event meant to honor our nation’s military as part of Veterans Day.

Each year, the Fort Vancouver Veterans Parade in particular has special significance in the greater Vancouver communities. Participants include veterans, school and Scout groups from around the area, including Camas and Washougal. All converge at the Barracks for one purpose — to show honor and respect for the men and women who have given so much in the name of freedom, not only for American citizens, but citizens of other countries as well. It’s an incredible sacrifice many of these soldiers have made and are currently making.
