SAR Leads the Annual Prescott Parade


We were honored this year to be leading the Annual Fourth of July Prescott Parade.  This is a National Parade thanks to Past State President George Lipphardt.  He marched with us on the Fourth July in 2015 and thought this was the most Patriotic town.  At that time, no parades west of the Mississippi were considered national parades.  He took his message back to congress that year.   Congress established Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and many others as National parades in our part of the country.

This year because of our lead many Color Guard Members joined the Prescott Color Guard from as far away as Tucson.   What an honor to be out front and it should be as this event celebrates our Declaration of Independence.  Our ancestors were there to establish the founding of our country through the War for Independence.
