Even through Veterans Day is observed on Nov. 11, it's never too early or often to recognize those who served our country, and in that spirit, Herculaneum will hold its seventh annual Veterans Day parade and ceremony Sunday (Nov. 4).
A parade from Senn-Thomas Middle School to Herculaneum City Park will start at 2 p.m.
Entries will line up at 1 p.m. at the school.
Military veterans and active service personnel as well as veterans organizations are invited to participate in the procession.
Numbered flags will be handed out along the parade route, with a drawing for a prize given out at the Veterans Day ceremony, scheduled to begin at about 3 p.m. at the park, 776 Joachim Ave.
The ceremony will include speakers, a flag presentation, patriotic music and patriotic readings. During the ceremony, veterans will be recognized.
An appreciation dinner will follow the ceremony.
Parade entries can be made at Herculaneum City Hall, 1 Parkwood Court, or at cityofherculaneum.org.
