Parade returns as Mamou again observes Veterans Day

For the first time in two years because of the pandemic, the parade returned as part of the events surrounding the annual Veterans Day observance in Mamou. The parade began at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 6, and rolled down famed 6th Street toward the American Legion Hall.
