KRCB News speaks with a few Sonoma County local veterans at the parade to hear about their service and what this day means to them. "United States Coast Guard, retired, proudly served," said Josh Curtis. "It's the Petaluma Veterans Day Parade. We have a pretty proud tradition of this in Petaluma and a lot of the community comes out. We're also a Coast Guard town. To me it's about honoring those who serve. My wife is here, and my two kids, and they all sacrificed for me to be able to serve. I gave up lots. I was a reservist for most of my time and I had to give up a lot of weekends and deployed all over the country and had to leave them behind and they had to hold down the fort while I was gone. It takes a lot to do that,"
