Commissioner Jerry Libbin has rallied support for the parade and picnic, noting "The men and women who serve our country with distinction deserve our appreciation every day. This event gives us an opportunity to come together as a community to thank them."

The wreath laying ceremony and 21-gun salute at Flamingo Park will begin at approximately 10:30 am following the parade. A moment of silence will be observed at 11:00 am in honor of the First World War Armistice Day tradition. Immediately following Commissioner Libbin will be hosting a picnic for parade participants.
