The Hawaii Island Community will join Military Veterans and a wide range of nonprofits, businesses, and groups to better

Parade. The parade's theme,, "Celebrate Service", emphasizes increased involvement of both veterans and the broader
community in serving those in need. The parade will be held on the Saturday prior to Veterans Day to maximize
participation and volunteer turnout,, while also avoiding conflicts with several long-standing ceremonies traditionally hosted
at other island locations on Veterans Day itself. Downtown Hilo has become the home of one of HawaPi's largest Veterans
Day parades. The event continues to grow each year and is made possible only through the generous financial and
volunteer support of local businesses,, the County, and individual community members. Committee members and
volunteers dedicate countless hours to organizing the Hawaii Island Veterans Day Parade., recognizing its importance in
honoring Hawaii Island veterans and their families while also strengthening community connections that benefit many
others. Each year., new and creative approaches are developed to support veterans and to educate the island community
about the tremendous efforts already underway across HawaPi Island. The parade also honors three marshals each year.
The Grand Marshal is a Veteran or Veteran group who exemplifies service to others., and this year the role will be filled by
Jerry Chang. The Community Parade Marshal recognizes a nonprofit organization that goes to great lengths to support
both veterans and the wider community, and this year Vibrant Hawaii will be honored. The Business Parade Marshal
highlights a local business that provides high -quality products and services while actively working to support veterans and
island communities,, and this year,, Ken"s House of Pancakes has been selected.
