Post Parade Ceremonies - Who better than the United Veterans of Lee County (UVLC) to conduct the post parade ceremonies after the holiday parade. The UVLC's main function is to unify all the county's veterans organizations so that the 70,000 Lee County veterans speak with one voice on all vets issues. This event will be conducted from the stage in Big John's parking lot. Some of the guest speakers may include Lee County leaders from the Lee County veterans community, Lee County Commissioner Tammy Hall, Cape Coral Mayor Eric Feichthaler, and Gayle Wetzel, Lt. Col. USAF, Retired Nurse. There will be plenty of pageantry with the Posting of the Colors, the Pledge of Allegiance and a rousing rendition of the National Anthem. What a great way to end this year's Veterans Day Celebration by hearing from the very veterans we are honoring on this national holiday. If you have questions call Ken Thibodeau at 418-0939 or Ralph Irons at 415-1957.
