Saturday’s Veterans Day Parade on St. Croix honored those who have selflessly served our nation with a parade and ceremony that drew hundreds of bystanders.
Participants included the 73rd Army Band, St. Croix Educational Complex JROTC, St. Croix Central High School Carbis Battalion, the Girl Scouts of the U.S. Virgin Islands, members of different branches of the armed forces, Gov. Albert Bryan Jr., Senate President Novelle Francis, Delegate to Congress Stacey Plaskett and other cabinet members and participants.
Participants marched from the Frederiksted post office and down King Street and then onto Strand Street, where the ceremony was held, right on the waterfront.
The 73rd Army Band performed a few selections, including the national anthem and the Virgin Islands March, along with a brief ceremony with comments from cabinet members and special guests.
Other Veterans Day activities took place on St. Thomas on Saturday and earlier last week, on Nov. 5 on St. John.
