Today is Veterans’ Day -- a day of remembrance. And, in this Bobcat Update, Jesse Moloney tells us how San Marcos residents have been observing the event.
Downtown San Marcos was shut down Saturday morning to make way for a record 80 entries in this year's Veterans’ Day Parade.
Families, friends and flags surrounded the Square as Parade Master of Ceremonies and Vietnam Vet Alan Camaron sang to the crowd preparing them for the spirited caravan of floats.
Camaron says the amount of work to prepare for the parade is amazing.

Kiwanis club members invited children of all ages to bring their bikes to the square to be decorated and to participate in the parade.
Retired Sergeant First Class Alicia Pineda says it's important for children to understand why these celebrations are held.

Onlookers waved to government officials and veterans while being entertained by marching bands. Veterans say the sacrifices of their fellow soldiers must be remembered.

The parade's grand marshal was George Kumpe, who was awarded two Purple Hearts for his service in the U-S Army during the Vietnam War.
