VVA Chapter 1069 Members Attend El Campo ISD Veterans Day Parade Nov 17, 2023
[posteded on: 12-4-2023]
The El Campo ISD again hosted a Veterans Day parade for the 3rd year in El Campo, Texas.
Chapter members, Carolyn & Louis Milder, have sent us pictures they took at the parade.
Members of VVA Chapter 1069 attended and participated in the parade. Much thanks to Carolyn
Milder for taking the photos shown on this webpage.
Because of rain on Veterans Day (Nov 11), the parade was rescheduled to Friday, November 17,
2023, from 8:15 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The Veterans met at the El Campo Civic Center parking lot at
8:10 a.m., and the parade started at 8:15 a.m., with the El Campo High School Band performing
the “Star Spangled Banner” and “TAPS” to honor fallen soldiers. Veterans then followed the parade
leader to each El Campo ISD campus, including the St. Philips Catholic School.
Some of our Veterans, decorated their cars for the parade. Most parade participants stayed in their
vehicles while they were being recognized for their service as they passed each school campus.
A big thanks to all chapter members and spouses that participated in the parade and represented our
chapter!
The above images were taken from the El Campo online News Leader newspaper.
