Thousands Welcome Iraq War Vets in St. Louis

Jonco — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:13:56 +0000

A downtown St. Louis parade to honor Iraq war veterans stepped off at noon yesterday at Kiener Plaza. This parade developed from a conversation two friends had just a month ago.

Thousands of people lined the parade route on Market Street, cheering, waving American flags and holding signs “Welcome Home.”

Christine Willey of Webster Groves was one of those along the parade route. Her nephew served in Afghanistan and was wounded in Iraq when his Humvee was hit by an explosive.

“I think he would appreciate it a lot,” she said of the parade. Her nephew, of Wentzville, who suffered brain injuries, was unable to attend the parade.

Tom Appelbaum, one of the parade organizers, said the parade “pretty much matches what I would have expected.” He said he was “feeling great.”

The parade follows a vigil which began Friday at 9:11 p.m. at Soldier’s Memorial in downtown. Volunteers read the names of U.S. servicemen and servicewomen who have died in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales and St. Louis police and fire departments are joining 83 floats in the parade.
