Each Veterans Day, Biddeford and S**o proudly honor those who have served our nation and continue to inspire us through their dedication, courage, and sacrifice. Thank you to our veterans and to everyone who joined in reflecting on the freedoms we enjoy because of their service.

Colonel Jen Fullmer, U.S. Air Force (Ret.) served as the Grand Marshal for this year's Veterans Day Parade. Following the parade, attendees gathered for a closing ceremony featuring an address by Rick St. Onge, U.S. Navy Veteran and Commander of American Legion Post 26. The Young Marines raised the American flag, the Biddeford Combined Band performed the National Anthem, and Master of Ceremonies Drew Reddy shared reflections on Veterans Day and the significance of honoring it on November 11.

A special thank you to Heart of Biddeford for organizing this meaningful event, and to the Biddeford Police Department and S**o Police Department for their assistance with road closures and public safety throughout the morning.
