Honoring Veterans on Veterans Day was Steve’s idea to go downtown to the Veterans Day Parade. This year’s theme was “service”. Steve drove us to West Penn, parked and we walked about fifty feet out of the parking garage and an 86 bus pulled up. We used our Senior Citizen bus passes. Jeanette was our 86 bus driver and she drove us right to the start of the parade. She wished every rider a nice day as they exited the bus.

The Irreverent Warriors (not pictured) marched too. I looked them up and learned their mission is to Eliminate Isolation and Eliminate Veteran Suicide
Thank You Pittsburgh for having a such a lovely tribute to those who served.
Thanks you for looking and writing today. It was an inspiring parade and what a crowd to honor all those who have served!
Pittsburgh has so much to offer. Thanks for sharing.
I used to march in that parade with the Allderdice marching band. All of those veterans should be very proud of themselves, no matter where or how long they served.
Great shots Ruth!
Thanks Sylvia.
Wonderful tribute – both the parade and your photos!
Thank you❤️
Thanks for showing us how Veterans Day was celebrated in a BIG WAY in your city.
I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of a Veteran’s Day parade before… great to see people support those who are willing to give so much to help secure and retain our freedoms.
Many moving moments.
