The parade was conducted in conjunction with the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall display in Syracuse. Parade units included the Great Lakes Naval Station marching band, Boy Scouts, national guard troops, a pipe band from South Bend and emergency vehicles from Syracuse and surrounding communities. Following the parade, a memorial service was conducted at the site of the Memorial Wall, off Ind. 13 behind Calvary United Methodist Church.
