It's a day reserved for recognizing and honoring those who have served and continue to serve. Austin's Veterans Day celebration began with a parade through downtown and wrapped up at the State Capitol. A cold breeze and overcast skies couldn't put a damper on the red, white and blue celebration of service. The parade began at 9:30 a.m. on the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge and rolled north up Congress Avenue to the steps of the State Capitol. There were two grand marshals: Mayor Lee Leffingwell, who is a retired Navy commander, and 108-year-old Richard Overton, who is the nation's oldest World War II veteran.
