🌟 Honoring a Hero: Help Us Induct Christopher B Wasser into Ottawa High School's Wall of Honor! 🌟

Christopher B Wasser, a proud graduate of Ottawa High School, made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in Iraq on April 8th, 2004. As we approach the 20th anniversary of his passing, we are petitioning to have Chris honored on OHS's Wall of Honor to commemorate his bravery, selflessness, and dedication to our country.

Please take a moment to sign the petition at https://chng.it/NfxsBdTh4z to show your support for honoring Chris's legacy. Let's ensure that his sacrifice and service are never forgotten. Together, we can make a difference and honor a true hero of our community. Thank you for your support!

Ottawa Veterans Parade and Celebration


NEW INFO VERY URGENT UPDATE - IMPORTANT CHANGE TO LINEUP

LINEUP WILL START AT FOREST PARK THIS YEAR NOT AT 6TH AND MAIN. The parade will start at the park proceed to the Veterans Memorial, stopping there for a short ceremony then on to City Park. If your group wants to display your cars, military ect turn there after the parade, you can go to Cedar come back on fifth to Hickory Street. Or if dispersing, go on through main. (that is clear as mud right)

This year the line-up will start at the North End of the park and the workers will let you where you need to go. More info later

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ceremony runs a week before the parade to a week after. If you have not seen the City Park display of all Veterans being honored, it is a must See.
There will be a military person doing tours of the fields. We are also planning on having a field of Flags with your loved one's name on it, like the ones we did, years ago in Forest Park, with the yellow ribbons. However, Hasty's is making very nice ones for us.

BE patient this is new to us this year also.
