Our Veteran's Day parade will be the 11th at 11:00 am in downtown Franklin. History of the parade in Franklin:
Post-WWII Origin (1946): Franklin previously hosted a Veterans Day/Armistice-style parade in 1946 to welcome home American service members returning from Europe and the Pacific at the end of World War II.
• Decades-Long Hiatus: After the 1946 welcome-home celebration, the organized Veterans Day parade tradition did not return to downtown Franklin for decades.
• Revival After 9/11 (2001): Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, longtime parade committee chairman Tom Lawrence and community organizers saw a chance to rekindle local patriotism and honor veterans once again. The revived parade resumed on November 11 and became an annual tradition.

On November 11, Americans will honor Veterans at ceremonies, parades and community gatherings nationwide. 48 regional sites in 24 states are official partners of VA as we honor America’s Veterans this year.
