Marine Military Academy in Harlingen to hold Veterans Day Parade
Special to Welcome Home RGV
It’s
been unusually quiet around our office. We call it the calm before the storm. That typically means that RV parks are busy checking people in for the season, and that sounds about right because we’ve had so many of our park contacts reporting earlier arrivals. We hope some of you will bring a touch of cooler weather with you. (Now don’t worry; we’re only asking for some 70s!)
The month of October is always busy as we get ready for the entire season. November finds us entertaining activity and tour directors. We feel it is so important to educate them on all there is to do across the Rio Grande Valley so they can share all they’ve learned with YOU! With that being said, if you have questions on where to go or what to do, we feel certain you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for (and plenty of things you didn’t even know about) in the pages that follow! •
M
arine Military Academy will host its Veterans Day Parade Friday, November 11, at 4 p.m. on the MMA Parade Ground. Veterans from all military branches are encouraged to attend, as they will be honored at this occasion and asked to join the MMA superintendent for the pass in review. Nearly 100 veterans were honored at last year’s parade. The public is not only welcome, but encouraged, to attend this event and pay respect to their nation’s local heroes. All parade goers are encouraged to participate in the flag retirement ceremony following the parade. MMA’s battalion-size parades are always held in front of the historic Iwo Jima Monument, a symbol of American pride for veterans and civilians alike. Although bleacher seating is available, parade goers may bring lawn chairs. MMA is located at 320 Iwo Jima Blvd., off Loop 499 and next to Valley International Airport, in Harlingen. For more information on the Veterans Day Parade, call 956-421-9225. •
