We will be holding our Eighteenth (XVIII) annual Veterans Day Parade this year on Saturday, November 11, 2023.
Prior to regularly scheduled parade activities; we would like to encourage everyone to attend a brief ceremonial tribute to our local veterans who paid the supreme sacrifice for their country in WW II at The Memorial Monument located at the Webster Lake entryway off of Thompson Road. In addition, at this time we will be placing a wreath at the Women’s Veterans’ Monument. This ceremony will begin promptly at 09:45AM.
Upon completion of our memorial tribute all marching veterans will meet with their respective colors/weapons at the St. Louis School Yard Parking area located next to the gymnasium at the bottom of the entryway at 10:15AM. Transportation by bus will leave at approximately 10:30AM and proceed to the Municipal Complex in Dudley.
Upon arrival in Dudley we will assemble at the Veterans’ Court of Honor…..
Ceremonies will commence promptly at 11:00AM. Our Chaplain will lead us in prayer, immediately following will be a three-shot volley performed by the weapon detail and Taps. Our guest speaker (speaker to be named) will then present a brief ceremonial message.
Upon conclusion we will march in procession from the Dudley Municipal Complex to the Webster Veterans’ Court of Honor for a similar presentation with Chaplain’s prayer, three-shot volley and Taps. Ceremonies will conclude at approximately 12:45PM.
