The annual Petaluma’s Veterans Day Parade will begin at 1 p.m. Wednesday Nov. 11, 2009 at Walnut Park (at D St) and wind its way through downtown Petaluma with 120 entries, including a military jeep group of up to 50 jeeps, marching bands, a mounted sheriff’s posse, and the traditional fly-over before finishing up back at Walnut Park with ceremonies and live music.
