The parade will take place on Saturday, April 30th. Step off is at 1:00 pm. The reviewing stand is on Buchanan Ave. and the Parade will end on Race Avenue. The parade is to honor the Veterans (Past, Present, & Future) and all First Responders (Police, Fire, & EMS).
Featured in the parade will be the 2nd Division United States Marine Corp Band, Smith Balloons (Same guy who supplies Macy’s), and the Cresent Motorcycle Drill Team from New Jersey. There will also be a concert in the park by the Marine Band, about 30 minutes after the parade (to set-up). Bring your lawn chairs or a blanket, and enjoy the music.
If you would like to help contribute to the American Spirit Parade, print the American Spirit Parade Isaacs Flyer, fill it out, and bring it to the Isaac’s on Centerville Road, as we are doing a fundraiser Tomorrow, March 29th from 5-9pm. The flyer is good for dine-in or take-out. With this flyer, Team American Spirit will get 25% of the total bill.
The TEAM would appreciate your help, and try to attend the Parade… Bring the kids!
Thank you for your service. I am an American Gold Star Mother from York who has participated in the wonderful American Spirit Parade. I am writing to tell you about a new memorial dedicated to all Veterans that will name the fallen in the War on Terror – ALL THE NAMES. I invite you to take a look at the web site and consider if your post would like to help with this effort. The City of York has given us use of land in Memorial Park 1000 VAnder Avenue, 17403. We are now in the fund raising portion of the effort and invite you to participate in the second annual “Run The Memorials” race beginning at the future site of the Gold Star Garden. THe date is Monday May 30 at 7:30AM, leaving time to attend your own ceremony or stay and commemorate with us in York.
