The event featured the armed forces medley sung by the innovation choir, a speech from guest speaker retired major general tommy baker, the thirteen folds of the American Flag Ceremony and more.

Much of the event was led by the veterans honor guard of parker’s crossroads. Saturday, there will be a Veterans Day parade in downtown Jackson at 11 a.m. It will feature a military flyover.
