Bare to lead Batavia Veterans Day Parade
Batavia — The annual Veterans Day Parade will be lead this year by the former executive director of the Clermont County Veterans’ Service Commission, Danny Bare, who will serve as grand marshal. Bare served as executive director for 5 years, helping his staff assist veterans and their families obtain benefits, emergency financial assistance, military medals and service-related documents.
Bare is a decorated Vietnam War veteran. He received a Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Army Commendation for Valor for his service. After Bare serving two years with the military, he returned to Batavia, and spent 30 years at First National Bank (now US Bank). After retiring, he re-
turned to public service, spending 14 years as a Batavia Township trustee, director of the Clermont County Board of Elections, a municipal court bailiff, and most recently, the executive director of the Clermont County Veterans’ Service Office. Bare is married to Connie. They have one daughter, Kelly, and two grandchildren, Eva and Carson. “Danny was excited about being named parade grand marshal,” said Andrea Bryant, office
administrator at the veterans’ service commission. “He couldn’t wait to have his grandkids tag along.” Veterans Day is the American name for the international day of remembrance formerly called Armistice Day. It falls on Nov. 11 each year, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended the World War I. Veterans Day is a federal holiday and is observed as a state holiday. The Clermont County Veter-
ans Day Parade is set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11, in Batavia. Participants will line up at the Batavia Post Office at 1 p.m. Citizens are encouraged to participate and show their appreciation for all service men and women. Also, the Veterans’ Service Commission staff invites all those who recently returned home to receive a special “welcome home.” For more information, call 732-7245.
