San Jose Veterans Day Parade 2016 DETAILS

Post by Kim Sievert » Tue Oct 04, 2016 8:20 am

San Jose’s Veteran’s Day Parade on November 11th 2016, has NEW LOCATIONS (for this year only) for the areas for MARSHALLING for their parades participants

Per the United Veterans Council of Santa Clara County, the tentative NEW LOCATION for this year is …. Floats/Large Vehicles – Almaden Boulevard – North Bound lane, between W. Santa Clara Street and Park Avenue with overflow on W. San Fernando Street between Almaden Boulevard and Highway 87 overpass. Per UVCSCC “They will send information of the check-in and possibly traffic management suggestions from the City of San Jose on how to enter the downtown area out via email.” I will post any updates, that I get, on the G503 Forum in the MVCC section. OR You can send me an Email requesting any San Jose Veteran’s Parade updates to vaudevillian@msn.com and I will CC any information I get on the Parade and any information for a post parade “Santana Row” raid.

Additionally, from the United Veterans Council of Santa Clara County IS A WARNING “What we know for sure is we need to have you get the word out to all of your participating members to approach downtown from the North, East or South and avoid West Santa Clara Street, West of Highway 87 entirely. The reason is that the SAP Pavilion has sold some 14,000 tickets to a four-day event for 4 straight days including Veteran's Day which falls on Friday this year”. Web site

When you go to the web site and click on "San Jose Veterans Day Parade Information" box, the web page that opens up has two location maps. The top one is the older places,,,, the bottom is the new tentative places for this year.(2016)

NEED to know whom is coming to the parade, I need a vehicle count for the parade organizer
To keep us out of being ass end of the parade, I also told the parade organizer, if they needed a vehicle, somewhere else to carry folks, we could see if they want to use one of ours.
Do not know anything yet on a Santana Row raid. I will asked when I send him a vehicle count....
SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU THINK YOU ARE COMING.

I just happened to be in San Jose this week, and I'm available for the parade.
I'm no longer with my Unit, so I'm not Drilling with them this week.

I don't have a vehicle handy, however I do have my Theodore Roosevelt uniform handy.
So I can be Teddy tomorrow, if anyone will have me!
