Knoxville's 82nd annual Veterans Day Parade will be held tomorrow, November 9, 2007, starting at 10:45 a.m. The parade will be along Gay Street and is sponsored by American Legion Post No. 2.

Veterans Day was originally Armistice Day, designated at the end of World War I in 1918. Actual Veterans Day is observed on the month, day and hour that the guns fell silent in World War I - 11 a.m., Nov. 11, 1918.

Many brave men and women have fought and died to allow Americans the freedoms we enjoy each day. America is the greatest nation on earth. We should all honor America's veterans and those presently serving in our military.
