RAPID CITY, S.D. – Rapid City Mayor Jason Salamun will join local veterans Tuesday afternoon for Meadowbrook Elementary School’s annual Veterans Drive-Thru Parade.
The event begins at 2 p.m. and features hundreds of students lining the school’s drive-thru route, waving flags, holding signs, and cheering as veterans make their way through the parade. Salamun, an Air Force veteran, participated in the event last year alongside dozens of other veterans.
A similar celebration is planned Wednesday morning at Robbinsdale Elementary School, where participating veterans will be welcomed with coffee and donuts.
Veterans Day activities in Rapid City will continue Wednesday with the annual downtown Veterans Day Parade at 11 a.m., followed by a community lunch at VFW Post 1273. American Legion Post 22 will also host a Veterans Day turkey dinner from 4 to 6 p.m.
Organizers say the events are designed to recognize and thank veterans for their service and sacrifice to the nation.
