Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said the parade was the perfect way for LCSO to show its support for veterans.
“Today’s the day we can salute our veterans and show our appreciation because every single person in the world, when they wake up in a free country, it’s because of veterans," the sheriff said. "So, it’s important for us to show our support and build those every-lasting relationships in the community.”
The parade ran from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
