The city of Miami Beach is partnering with Miami Beach Medical Group to honor America’s soldiers with its upcoming Veterans Day parade.
The event is scheduled for this Sunday, Nov. 11 at 11:11 a.m. The route will move along Ocean Drive from Fifth to 14th streets.
After that, closing ceremonies will begin at noon at Lummus Park. On the agenda is a family picnic, wreath laying ceremony and a performance by an all-veterans parachute team.
“Miami Beach Medical Group is proud to be the official sponsor for a fourth straight year to such an important event for our community,” said the group’s Chief Operating Officer Jose Sanchez.
“As leading health care providers in Miami-Dade County and as one of the largest independent medical groups in Miami Beach, we give our thanks to the service provided by each of our veterans and the sacrifices that not only they have made, but those made by their families as well.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with Miami Beach and the veteran community for many years to come.”
Those participating in the parade include school marching bands, pageant queens, and public officials, among the many veterans. Officials from Southern Command and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will also be on hand to address the crowds.
