2019 VFW VETERANS DAY PARADE Nov. 9 was a beautiful day in Diamondhead for the VFW Veterans Day Parade, with temperatures in the 60s. The parade was led by the Diamondhead Fire Department (Ladder Co. 1), followed by the Diamondhead police, decorated motorcycles, Hancock County High School Junior ROTC, Harold Dawley’s military jeep, deco-
rated golf carts with veterans and friends of veterans, and the Topless Club (convertible automobiles). The parade began at the clubhouse, proceeded down Golf Club Drive, to Diamondhead Drive East, to the Veterans Bandstand near City Hall, where Pat Laird led the Pledge of Allegiance, and Barb Knapstein led the National Anthem.
A bake sale benefiting veterans in need was held to the delight of the children in attendance. VFW Post 2880 gives a special thank you to the Diamondhead Police Department for the great job it did coordinating traffic for the parade. By Pat Laird, Jr. Vice Commander VFW Post 2880
