This year’s San Diego Veterans Day Parade commemorated the 35th anniversary of Operation Desert Storm. Marching bands, historic military units, vintage vehicles and patriotic performers were all part of the celebration of all U.S. military veterans—living and deceased—who served honorably in wartime or peacetime. Grand Marshalls included Senator Mark Kelly, Retired Capt. Cindy Perry, Petty Officer Ruben “Chato” Hinojosa Jr., Retired Lt. Colonel Susan Inot and Retired Capt. Dan Hacker. San Diego Sun photographer Sal Giametta was out on the Harbor Drive parade route on a sunny Wednesday morning to pay photographic respect. Check out this salute to heroes:
