Honoring local veterans at the Gulf Coast Veterans Parade

South Mississippi descended on Downtown Biloxi Saturday to celebrate our local veterans.

The Gulf Coast Veterans Parade is a tradition unlike any other with veterans of various wars, along with students and other service members, marching to celebrate those who have sacrificed so much for our country.

Since the inaugural parade in 2000, it has grown each year to honor more and more veterans of each military branch and our local military installations as well.
