For a few older veterans rather than walk in the parade they rode in military vehicles. In this particular photo, Mattingly (seen waving in the front car) said some of these vehicles have "combat hours." GN1 FILE PHOTO. Michael Crimmins/Glasgow News 1.

The Veterans Day parade is canceled, but there is a program scheduled for the same time in the South Central Kentucky Cultural Center.
The change of location is due to the forecasted wind chill, which the National Weather Service in Louisville states will be around 24 degrees with winds between 6 and 13 miles per hour, though wind gusts could be as high as 22 miles per hour, the service states.
Glasgow’s Veterans Day parade was scheduled for noon on Nov. 11 with veterans, community members and military vehicles gathering in the Save-A-Lot parking lot, going around the Glasgow Square and ending at the Veterans Wall of Honor in the Beula C. Nunn Park on the Square’s south side.
The program, which takes the place of the walking parade, is scheduled for noon today.
Dinner is still scheduled to take place at the Glasgow National Guard Armory with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the dinner to begin at 7 p.m. Veterans eat free but it is $10 per plate for others.
