Southern Nevada will honor its military service men and women Saturday morning during what’s touted as the “largest Veterans Day parade west of the Mississippi.”
The 29th annual procession, organized by the Veterans Action Group nonprofit, is taking place from 10 a.m. to noon in the heart of Las Vegas.
Its current iteration began in 1994, but the global pandemic led to the 2020 parade’s cancellation.
The event is an opportunity to thank current and retired service members for their sacrifices but also a chance for the veterans to commiserate, and for younger generations to learn their stories, said Dixon Keller, the nonprofit’s communications director and a Vietnam War veteran.
