BOISE, Idaho — Thousands of spectators lined the streets of downtown Boise for the annual Boise Veterans Day Parade on Saturday, Nov. 2.
Ahead of Veterans Day on Monday, Nov. 11, the popular parade gave people a chance to honor veterans who have served our country.
The theme of this year's Veterans Day Parade was "Letters from Home," and was a tribute to the support given to military men and women by their friends and families back home. The grand marshal was the U.S. Postal Service, represented by Postmaster Dan Corral.
A special opening ceremony began at 10 a.m. on the Idaho State Capital steps. The parade started at 10th Street, traveled east on Jefferson Street to 4th Street where it turned south to Bannock Street, then proceeded west, ending on 11th Street.
