Rome and Floyd County thanked and celebrated veterans of the United States Armed Forces with Veterans Day events on Monday.
The Exchange Club of Rome led veterans, marching bands, and others in a Veterans Day Parade down Broad Street. It led to the Veterans Day Program hosted by the American Legion Post 5 at Myrtle Hill Cemetery. Video of the parade is posted on the Georgia’s Rome page on Facebook.
