Cambridge Honors Veterans With Annual Veterans Day Parade

CAMBRIDGE, OH – American flags waved, marching bands played and the streets of downtown Cambridge were filled with patriotic pride Wednesday morning as the community gathered for its annual Veterans Day parade.

The celebration brought residents together to recognize the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of the men and women who have served in the United States military.

Among those honored was Navy veteran Stephen Saum, who proudly wore 18 medals representing his time in service.

“I think I went from being a boy to being a man going through boot camp,” Saum said. “But yeah, what I’ve noticed is people are people no matter where you go.”

While veterans have served in different branches and experienced different journeys, they share a commitment to their country.

Air Force veteran Mitch Kuster took the opportunity to recognize his fellow service members, both past and present.

“Just, thank you. I appreciate everybody that’s served and everybody that’s currently serving,” Kuster said.

That same gratitude echoed throughout Cambridge as spectators lined the parade route to show their appreciation.

Community members shared heartfelt messages, thanking veterans for their service and sacrifices.

Although the parade has come to an end, the community’s gratitude for those who have worn the uniform continues well beyond Veterans Day.
