Video: Reno honors veterans at 22nd annual downtown parade

Hundreds of bystanders and supporters showed up on Saturday morning to honor Nevada’s veteran population.
The parade occurred on Virginia Street in Downtown Reno and spanned from the Virginia Street bridge to Fifth Street. The festivities began with music and a flyover by the Regional Aviation Enforcement Unit (RAVEN) helicopter. The helicopter flew directly over Virginia Street from the south to the north.
Members of the Reno City Council, including Mayor Hillary Schieve, kicked off the parade.
“You’ve got to be excited when we’re celebrating our veterans,” Schieve said.
