Ada Parades on Armistice Day Fifty Years On
Armistice Day in Ada recalled veterans and bands marching through the streets as a new generation watched. The 1918 parade memory faded with time while communities kept civic pride alive and honored World War I participants amid veterans, students, and onlookers crowds. The downtown film capture showed the old procession and speeches, with many who marched then now gone, yet Ada maintains its commemorative spirit today as in 1918.
