"The parade honors our veterans and serves as an annual reminder to educate Americans about the service and sacrifices our veterans have made to protect our freedoms," said Bill Montgomery, Maricopa County Attorney and Special Adviser to Honoring Arizona's Veterans in a news release.
The parade's theme is "No Longer Forgotten, Honoring our Korean War Veterans."
