Marching on
Hundreds of people lined the sides of Virginia Street on Monday for the annual Veterans Day parade, wearing patriotic clothing, waving American flags and cheering in support of dozens of floats and other showings by active military personnel and various veteran’s organizations. The parade began at 11:11 a.m., in commemoration of the end of World War I, when the ceasefire took effect in the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month,” according to the armistice signed by Germany and allied forces in 1918. However, the war was officially ended by the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, making this year the official centennial celebration of the end of the War To End All Wars.
