Thank you, Rochester Regional Republican Committee Chair Carlton Cooper, for again serving as the Parade Director for the Rochester Veterans Council! The weather was perfect, and the event drew in a crowd!<\/p>\n

Rochester Regional Republican Vice Chair Erik White assisted, as well as Committee Member David Walker and Senator James Gray, and Strafford County Republican Committee Vice Chair Kelley Potenza all participated! Mayor Callahan also did a fabulous job welcoming the guests and introducing the main speaker, Retired Navy Captain Michael Lane.<\/p>\n

The Vouchers for Veterans created the Flags of Honor portion of the event at the Rochester Commons, a site to behold! The Rochester Veterans Council and American Legion Post 7 began this part of the event with the Presentation of Colors and the Laying of Wreaths for each military branch.<\/p>\n

Overall, the event was entertaining for the family and inspirationally moving for the community! <\/p>\n

Republicans really know how to appreciate and pay tribute to those brave men and women that have served our country before us! It was wonderful to stand in remembrance and gratitude as a community!<\/p>\n
