The parade will begin at 9:00am in the South Haven High School Parking lot. The parade will then follow the same route as previous years, starting on Center Street and marching along Phoenix Street to Lakeview Cemetery where a ceremony will take place at approximately 9:45am. 
The parade will be led by Medal of Honor recipient Jim ‘Doc’ McCloughan for the

Pastor Jerry Koller is the Spiritual Leader for the ceremony to honor and mourn those military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties.
Honored guests, veterans and distinguished South Haven students will also
participate in the event. The Lakeview Cemetery ceremony ends with the Post 49 Color Guard’s three-rifle volley salute and echo taps.
