The Home of Proud Americans came together Sunday for the annual William A. Athans Loyalty Day Parade.

The parade serves as a yearly opportunity for residents to show their appreciation to the U.S. and those who have or are currently serving in the armed forces. Athans, a World War II veteran, was a local VFW Post 9545 member and founded the parade.
