Veterans and their families are being honored as well as the members of local troop support group, Washington Operation Thank You, starting at 11:00am.

On a cool, crisp November morning this last Saturday, hundreds of patriots lined the street of West Richland to show honor those Veterans who have served and those currently serving our country. There were many groups, floats, bands and individuals who took to the parade route and their flags snapped vigorously in the wind. Spirits were high and the audience was obviously appreciative of the men and women of our armed forces.

Below is a presentation of those participating.
