The City of
Inman is extremely proud to host every November 11th our Veterans
Day Parade. The entire community is extremely grateful for what our
veterans - both those living and those re-deployed to a higher duty
station - have done for us in protecting and defending the
Constitution of the United States and safeguarding the American
ideal and dream.

Banner; followed by a rifle salute.
The ladies are standing behind a
section of the Stars of Freedom display, designed and constructed by
Robert Moore, himself a veteran of Vietnam. Each star bears the name of
an Inman Area veteran who served in the United States Armed Forces.
