21st Annual Veterans Day Parade Held In West Richland

The West Richland Chamber of Commerce hosted the 21st Annual Veteran's Day Parade on Saturday.

There were more than 100 entries in the event which began at the intersection of Grosscup Road and Van Giesen Street, and traveled along Van Giesen eastbound to 38th Avenue.

Major Rudolph Webster was the grand marshal.

Following the parade, the annual chili feed was held at Flat Top Park put on by the Combat Veterans International Chapter 56.

Bobby Dale Albers, who served 3 tours in the Vietnam War, from 1968-1970 said, "Today is all about the vets, all of them.  It doesn't make any difference if you were in combat or not.  If you served, this is your day."

The event culminated with a grand prize give-away of a Vintage Harley Davidson 1978 FXE HD motorcycle to one lucky winner.
