Veteran's Day in Alpena
ALPENA, MICH (WBKB) - A Veteran's Day Parade was held in Downtown Alpena on Wednesday to honor those who have served the country. The parade began at McRae Park at 11:11 AM, in homage to the effective time of the armistice of November 11th, 1918, which ended World War One fighting. Veterans of the Korean War, Vietnam War, and Middle East conflicts marched from the park to City Hall, alongside family members and first responders. A ceremony was held at City Hall following the march, where awards were presented. Sabrina Olsen, a member of the Agent Orange Riders, was presented the Alpena Veteran's Supporter of the Year. Matthew Carlisle, a retired Marine Corps Officer, was presented both the Chief Warrant Officer Award, and Veteran of the Year. When asked about the parade, Matthew Carlisle said, "The amount of veterans you have up here shows that the patriotism but also that the services offer that out to young men and women to get on their feet and be their own people. That's why you have so many veterans up there." Motorcycle riders were also present to raise awareness about veterans exposed to Agent Orange. This marks Alpena's third Veteran's Day Parade,
