Petaluma Veterans Day Parade 2023

Following the Remembrance Day ceremonies at Liberty Cemetery in Petaluma, CA, the Royal Canadian Legion US Zone, Branch #25 and the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) Arkansas Division participated in the Petaluma Veterans’ Day Parade.

Petaluma proudly hosts the largest Veteran’s Day Parade north of the Golden Gate. The event is dedicated to remembering the men and women who set aside their civilian pursuits to serve our nation’s cause, defending our freedom and preserving American heritage.

Below is a series of videos stitched together from the event, followed by some images of the parade.
