A small team of highly motivated and extremely dedicated veterans led the charge, and in 67 days the Town of Southern Pines had it’s first Veterans Parade in 71 years. The late David Woodruff, a son of Southern Pines, a renowned local historian, and author wrote, “with 12% of Moore County’s population being military veterans, there is no doubt this was the right thing to do. In some circles, Southern Pines is known as a military town.” David Woodruff was instrumental in vision, growth, and evolution of what is known today as the Sandhills Vet Fest and the Southern Pines Veterans Parade. These events are his legacy. On 10 November 2018 at 10 a.m., we will commemorate the 6th Annual Southern Pines Veterans Parade. We take great pride fulfilling our mission statement, “Support Our Troops, and Honor Our Veterans,” and living up to our motto, “For Veterans, By Veterans.” This is a very planning, labor, and financially intensive undertaking, and we would like to express our unconditional appreciation for our tremendous veterans, generous sponsors and selfless volunteers, for without this winning combination, there would not be a Southern Pines Veterans Parade or a Sandhills Veterans Festival. Parade Application/Registration Thank you all for your interest in the Southern Pines Veterans Parade. Whether this is your first time or whether you have been with us since the inaugural event in 2012, we hope you know how much your support means to our veterans and our community. This parade has been the focal point event of what began in 2012 as Veteran’s Weekend, and since then it has evolved into the most anticipated event of the year, the Sandhills Veteran’s Festival, a week long series of events that focus on honoring the strength of our Sandhills Veterans, our active duty members, and our beloved military families.
