Princeton Armed Service Day parade a major regional event
The five year run of Princeton Armed Service Day parades grew from a 1956 small event to a major regional showcase with up to 22 marching bands. Organizers credited a dedicated independent committee and military support for attracting participants and boosting Princeton’s image. A 1959 parade featured a Regulus I Navy missile and Explorer satellites, and a commendation from West Virginia National Guard leaders praised Master Sgt. James E. Childers for his community efforts.
