There a parade will begin 10:15 a.m. and proceeded from the Territorial Museum down Oklahoma to First, south to Harrison and west to Honor Park. Veterans are invited to join the March and if unable to March, they are invited to be a part of the Ceremony at the park located at Harrison and Second.

American Legion First Vice Commander Jerry Ball would like all area veterans to know that Guthrie is now a Military Order of the Purple Heart City. An honor of which we are all proud as we are one of five.
