LA GRANDE, OR—The streets of downtown La Grande were filled with patriotic fervor on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, as the community gathered for the annual Veterans Day Parade. Adding to the celebratory atmosphere and providing a vibrant tribute to the nation's heroes were the students of La Grande High School.
The La Grande High School Marching Band marched down Adams Avenue, performing classic military tunes and patriotic music that resonated with the crowds lining the parade route. Their energetic and precise performance was a stirring reminder of the day's significance.
Right alongside the band, the LHS Cheer Team brought their spirit and energy, cheering and waving pom-poms to honor veterans and show their support for the community event. Their enthusiasm helped keep the mood high and festive throughout the parade.
The annual parade, sponsored by American Legion Post 43, is a cornerstone of La Grande's Veterans Day observance. The participation of the high school students underscores the deep respect and gratitude the younger generation holds for the service and sacrifice of veterans.
The parade stepped off at 11 a.m. and proceeded down Adams Avenue, concluding a powerful display of community unity and honoring those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
