People line the streets to enjoy De Pere’s Memorial Day Parade

DE PERE, Wis. (WBAY) - Many communities held processions and ceremonies in our area to pay tribute to veterans on Memorial Day. People lined the streets in De Pere to enjoy the Memorial Day Parade Monday morning.

“I’m actually a Veteran. Funnily enough, U.S. Air Force many many many years ago,” said J Havlicek, who attended the event. “Memorial Day is very important, because we have to honor our veterans. They’re the ones who got us here.”

People attending say they enjoyed seeing the procession of the red, white, and blue, and of course, a performance by the De Pere High School’s marching band.
