Saturday, November 11th, 2018 VHPA members marched in the Auburn Veterans Parade in downtown Auburn. Dan Fox has spent considerable time and electricity to create another video of the parade. You can view it here. Photographs and videos were shot by your webmaster/photographer William Vaughn.
This is the largest Veterans parade in the Western USA, which includes many veterans groups, active and reserve military units, old military vehicles, high school marching bands and ROTC drill teams from all over the Northwest.
