Vets’ Parade is Saturday

 

By Liz Bowen, Pioneer Press Assistant Editor in Fort Jones, California

 

ETNA – “Freedom is not free,” is the theme of the annual Veterans’ Parade that will be held at 11 a.m.
 

Bud Simas will serve as grand marshal and the American Legion Parry Harris Post #260 will lead the parade carrying the colors.
 

Those participating in the parade will be organized by the Scott Valley Rotary at the Etna High School at 10 a.m. So far more than 20 entries have been received.
 

Mike Bryan, who is a local rancher and a veteran, will serve as announcer on Etna’s Main Street.
 

Be sure to show support for veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces on Nov. 4, by attending the parade in Etna.
 

Attention: Those who have addresses of soldiers serving in the U.S. military are invited to send them to the Pioneer Press this next week. We will publish them, so other family and friends can send cards and letters of support.
