CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE – CSM Gary W. Crisp American Legion Post 289 is proud to participate in the 2026 Clarksville-Montgomery County Veterans Day Parade on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026.
This year's parade theme, "Veterans: Celebrating 250 Years of Courage and Sacrifice," recognizes the generations of American men and women who have answered our nation's call to serve, defend our freedoms and protect the American way of life.
Post 289's participation reflects The American Legion's continued commitment to honoring our veterans, remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and supporting the men and women who continue to serve our country.
As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, Post 289 is honored to stand alongside fellow veterans, military organizations, community leaders and citizens in recognizing the courage, dedication and sacrifices of America's service members.
The parade's opening ceremonies begin at 9 a.m. in front of the Historic Montgomery County Courthouse, with the parade stepping off at 10 a.m.
"Freedom is never free. It is our responsibility as veterans and Americans to ensure that the sacrifices of those who served are never forgotten."
