Combined Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day Parade Today
May 15, 2010
A combined Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day parade will be held Saturday in Atmore.
The parade will honor those that have served, or are serving, in the armed forces.
The parade will form at the Atmore City Hall at 9:30 a.m. and begin at 10 a.m. It will follow a route from Main Street to Heritage Park, turn on Craig Street to Pensacola Avenue to the Atmore Area YMCA where a Memorial Day ceremony will be held about 11 a.m.
Several high school bands and ROTC units will participate, including Northview High and Ernest Ward Middle, and there will be several floats. Veterans are encouraged to wear their uniforms and walk, ride the VFW float or drive their own vehicle in the parade.
The combined parade was scheduled for Saturday, according to organizers, to allow as many people as possible to participate.

i agree, wholeheartedly!…we cannot thank our veterans enough, for their commitment to service in protecting our country and keeping us safe….and, God bless the ones who gave their all.
I have been a part of this parade for the last several years and it saddens me to say that the turnout for this parade has been horrible. I am asking as a veteran and a supporter of our men and women in uniform for all to come out and show your support. We ALL need to come together and show how much we appreciate those who fight or who have fought for our FREEDOM!
Thank you!
