Ideal conditions and the sun shined a spotlight on the bright smiles in attendance for the 2020 City of Millington Veteran’s Day Parade.
Millington Elementary School second grader Elizabeth Brown was joined by her mother Jennifer along the parade route just in front of the Plaza Shopping Center. With several portions of Navy Road sidewalks still under construction, many spectators gathered toward the area near Roland’s Tire.
Also in that area were Paityn and Hayden Lee of Millington. Nearby them were the aunt and nephew duo of Taylor Curtis and Waylon Hill.
As more accumulated on the sidewalks along Navy Road, the flags started waving as Millington Police Department Inspector Reggie Fields sounded the siren to start the parade. He was followed by the Millington Fire Department.
Then there were appearances by the American Legion 252 and VFW Post 7175 of Millington. Several businesses, the Shriners and Millington Central High School Band were a part of the festivities expressing gratitude to the men and women who have served and currently serving the United States.
