The Fire department as always concludes the parade with sirens and the horn to the fallen.

And Congressman Brad Sherman waved to the spectators that came out to celebrate an important cause.

Cars dressed with patriotic banners represented various groups involved in this year’s parade.

The parade’s theme is always the same as what the day is meant for to “Honor All Veterans”.

ROTC students marched regally for those fighting in the war today.

Patriotic dogs marched as a symbol that even four legged animals serve in miraculous ways.

Uncle Sam also made his appearance as a icon of America.

A miniature horse carried individuals down the street most regally.

And as always the girl scouts represented various ages from daisies to cadets.

High school bands played patriotic tunes down the street as the audience watched in enjoyment.

Old time cars drove and were carried on trailers decorated in red, white and blue.

Spanish equestrian riders celebrated their heretage as America uniquely recognizing all ethnicities.

The Salvation Army Band as always was present in the parade.

And of course a flyby is always a must at the parade, no matter how small but significant.
