Several Thousand Brave the Chill for Tulsa's Veterans Day Parade

KWGS News

A cold, windy day doesn’t keep the crowd away for Tulsa’s Veterans Day Parade. Several thousand turn out for the parade on a chilly day. Small children wave flags and shout thanks, older kids line the route and cheer the servicemen and women. Many of the World War 11 vets are gone now, but some, like Jim Deer, who served with a bombing group in the European Theater, come to the parade every year. He rode inside a heated auto this year, but says as long as he’s able, he’ll be a part of the annual event in downtown Tulsa.

Tulsa’s annual Veterans Day parade is one of the largest in the region.
