The St. Cloud-area Veterans Day Parade and Social was first held in 2007, when Times Media joined forces with the St. Cloud Metrovets, the VA Medical Center, and the City of St. Cloud to create an event for the community to show its collective appreciation for the service and sacrifice of its veterans and active-duty military residents.
The 2008 parade route, featuring 37 units, began at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9 on the west side of the St. Cloud VA Medical Center campus and proceeded east across the Avenue of Flags and 44th Avenue, ending in the Apollo High School parking lot.
After the parade, participants, spectators, and community members congregated in the Apollo High School Commons for refreshments and a couple of hours of socializing and musical entertainment.
