Downtown ceremony and parade will happen Nov. 11 as planned after community leaders close funding gap.
The San Jose Police Honor Guard marches during the Veterans Day Parade in downtown San Jose, Calif., on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023. San Jose’s 106-year tradition of honoring veterans will continue, as a community fundraising campaign has brought in more than enough to ensure the downtown ceremony and parade take place Nov. 11 as planned.
James Reber, executive director of the San Jose Parks Foundation, said another $10,000 came in from individuals through its fundraising portal. The Parks Foundation again served as fiscal agent for the parade and waived its fees. “As a Navy veteran, it gives me great pride to be part of it,” Reber said.
