| Welcome to the Dallas Veterans Day Parade Committee. I
am indeed honored to be the Chairman for the 2008 Veterans Day Ceremony
and Parade in downtown Dallas.
This annual event is carried out by members of our committee, all of whom volunteer their time to plan the event to honor our veterans in the greater Dallas community. We appreciate the City of Dallas, as well as the Dallas Independent School District for supporting our event. We also enjoy the participation of the many military and veteran organizations within our community. The financial support of many corporations and individuals throughout the Dallas area have always come together to help make it possible to present this Veterans Day event. We hope you take the time to review this website. Whether corporate or individual, I invite you to participate in this patriotic event with your time, talent or contribution. We invite you to contact us via the website or any of the telephone numbers you see below. Now it is as important as ever to recognize and show appreciation to all our veterans. To those who are serving, to those who have served, and to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we are eternally grateful. Welcome to our November 11, 2008, event in downtown Dallas as we honor
our veterans on their special day. |
