Veterans group looking for volunteers for weekend parade

KEARNEY, NE — The Nebraska Vietnam Veterans Reunion is looking for volunteers to help carry a banner in Saturday’s Patriotic Parade in Omaha.

The group has pledged to carry the banner of the USS Evans, a navy battleship that sank during the Vietnam War. The Sage brothers, a trio from Niobrara, all died on the ship. The NVVR is carrying the banner in the parade in honor of the brothers.

The NVVR is also looking for Vietnam era veterans to walk or ride with them in the Patriotic Parade. The parade is on Saturday in the Old Market. Participants will line up at 9:00 a.m. at 10th and Jackson. The parade starts at 10:00.
