Share Your Memories
Our Veteran’s have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country to sustain our freedoms here in America. It is not an easy journey and we wish to give honor to them this Veteran’s Day and may they be remembered and honored daily. In this parade we will have photos recognizing these brave heroes throughout the parade. If you wish to take part in this tribute or wish to share a photo and story of a fallen Veteran, we would be honored to have you join us.
Or you can email us with the name of the veteran, their story & a photo to julia@if-intentionallyfocused.com
Drive A Veteran!
Honor a Veteran and show off your vehicle in the parade! Do you have a classic or muscle car, a convertible, an American military vehicle, trolly car, house drawn carriage, or other car that you would like to drive or have driven in the parade? We would love to help you show off your vehicle as we honor and solute our Veterans. They have done enough to serve us, help us serve and celebrate them as they can sit back and receive that well deserved honor.

The American's Creed
by William Tyler Page
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
–Written 1917, accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918.
