Tucson Veterans Parade

A service dog is a dog that has been trained to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities or other special needs. Service dogs can provide help for people who are blind or hard of hearing, as well as those who have balance issues, mobility issues caused by injuries or illness, or mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They help with tasks like opening doors and picking up items that their owners drop. This type of assistance makes it possible for their handlers to live independently and participate more fully in public life—all without having to rely on another person's assistance or accommodation every time they need something from outside their home.

How do you know if you are being around a service dog? You can often recognize a service dog by their vest or harness, which will have an identification tag. 🐕‍🦺

Service dogs should always be treated with respect, even if you aren't familiar with the dog or its owner. Here are a few things to remember when interacting with a working service dog. 📌

We finally have a route!!
The parade will go on this year!!
Stay tuned for information on how to submit applications.

Tucson Veterans Day Parade canceled due to downtown construction After the parade was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19, Air Force veteran Ann Rodgers said the news is another blow amid an already tough year.

American Legion Post 7 regretfully agreed to not host a Veterans Day Parade this year.

The city has not as of yet approved our permit due to construction, and the inability to find an alternate route long enough.

Hey everyone!
Right now, it's looking like a 50/50 chance of having the parade this year.

I'll keep everyone posted.

Squadron 7 Commander along with Post 7 Commander and some guests have expressed interest in getting education out to the youth for some learning opportunities via facebook live.

A couple of ideas so far is Flag Ettiqute, 10 Ideals, 5 Star and The American Legion Pillars. What would you like to see as some education for our youth discussed?
