Paris, Tenn.–It was a great morning for veterans in Henry County with the largest-ever showing in the annual Veterans’ Day parade. The weather cooperated for a good-sized crowd along the parade route. The parade was led by the Tennessee State Guard honor guard and the Henry County High School Marching Patriots. Grand Marshal was highly-decorated Vietnam Veteran Dr. Buddy Gardner. Top photo, Dr. Gardner smiles as he passes by in the parade; First Sgt. James Dougherty and family, Laura, Chelsea and their dogs Jenny, Grace and Tipper display their patriotic flags along the parade route; Cottage Grove veterans; and onlookers applaud the Marching Patriots.
