POINT PLEASANT — The annual AMVETS Veterans Day Parade marched down Main Street Saturday afternoon with Grand Marshal Fleming Young, Jr. leading the way.

The parade, traditionally held the Saturday prior to Veterans Day, of course featured veterans, but also included pageant title holders, first responders, 4-H members, the Grand Champion PPHS Black Knight Marching Band and more. After the parade, American Legion Post #23 hosted a Veterans Day Dinner to show gratitude for all who have served. The dinner was free.
