Mild weather with some fog but no rain helped draw crowds to downtown Clinton on Saturday morning for the 18th-annual Anderson County Veterans Day parade.
The parade began shortly after 10 a.m. on Gilliam Street at the rear of the Clinton Community Center, right after the November veterans breakfast.
Because of downtown street closures for construction, the parade moved north along Gilliam Street, turned right onto West Broad Street, turned left onto South Hicks Street, then right onto Church Street and left onto Commerce Street before ending at the city parking lot.
Honoring all who have served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces, the Veterans Day Parade was sponsored by Anderson County American Legion Post 172 and Legion Riders Post 172, in conjunction with VFW Post 12051, Amvets Post 2 and DAV Tri-County Chapter 26.
The bands of Clinton and Anderson County High School combined to march together in this year’s parade.
