Military hardware will be on display and the 101st Airborne division-Air Assault and the Tennessee Air National Guard will decorate the sky. Thousands of people will line the street to cheer veterans past and present. High ranking military officers, elected officials and other dignitaries will watch from a special viewing stand. Highway off-ramps and local streets will be shut down to traffic.
