The Virginia City Veterans Day Parade will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday with military color guards, Pearl Harbor survivors, World War II military vehicles and floats and Cmdr. Sinclair Harris, skipper of USS Comstock based in San Diego, will be the grand marshal of the parade.
The parade will start at the Fourth Ward School and end at the Storey County Senior Center where a spaghetti lunch will be served to veterans and their families.
All veterans are welcome to join the parade as individuals or as part of an organization. Also invited are military vehicle collectors, who are encouraged to wear their uniforms.
At approximately 11:11 a.m. there will be a flyover of two F/A-18 Hornet jets, weather permitting. The jets will fly over the parade route, south to north, will turn at Six Mile Canyon and return over the parade route in the missing-man formation.
