Press - Tulsa Honors Military in Veteran’s Day Parade
Posted on: November 11, 2008
Crowds of proud Tulsans came dowtown today to honor the military at the 2008 Veteran's Day Parade. The reviewing stand was filled with elected officials and dignitaries as bands, floats, student groups, veterans and others made their way down the streets of downtown.
"This is a day to pause and remember our troops, both past and present," said Mayor Kathy Taylor. "This generation of Americans owes our freedom to those who served and to those who are currently serving both home and abroad."
Taylor is joined by Colonel Terry Riddle, Commander of Tulsa Public Schools ROTC programs. Also in attendance were Representatives Jeannie McDaniel and Lucky Lamons.
