Auburn Parade to Honor Armed Forces

The city of Auburn will host its second annual Armed Forces Day Parade on Saturday.

For the second consecutive year, the city of Auburn will honor those serving in the Armed Forces with a parade. 

Barrow County residents are invited to bring flags and line the parade route, which will begin at the old Ingles parking lot at 10 a.m. and continue down Ga. Highway 8 to Fourth Avenue. 

The parade grand marshal is Marco, a war canine wounded in combat. 

The city extends its appreciation to the American Veterans Chapter 12 Riders for their assistance in coordinating the parade and thanks the Georgia State Defense Force for assisting the Auburn Police Department with traffic control.

I grew up in a Winder where doors were not locked and the town was full of folks shopping! SometimesRead More a moonshiner would get caught or the parking meter would run out of time and one would get a parking ticket by one of the three cops in town! Now I keep a weapon handy because of voices and footsteps on the pavement at night! Where are these people coming from and going to after one o'clock in the morning? Why does it take so long for a policeman to show up after a call is made,if they show up at all? I've watched nice homes on my street turn into dumps. They are rented by owners who are only interested in the money and not the quality of people who are renting. Yeah, I keep a weapon and it's loaded for a thief or prowler! When seconds count a cop is only several minutes away,if at all!
