Loveland marked Veterans Day with a parade for Tom Parker and free meals for veterans

Loveland's Veterans Day parade on Wednesday was dedicated to Tom Parker, the Army veteran and longtime volunteer who died in April after a short battle with cancer. For the first time in many years, he wasn't helping lead the festivities. CBS Colorado says the community comes together every year to say thank you.

9NEWS looked at how two veterans started a Loveland tradition that "still rings loud." Meanwhile, Brinkerhoff Hospitality CEO Mark Brinkerhoff invited nearly 100 local veterans to a free meal at his new Loveland restaurant, in honor of his grandfather, Sonny, who served in World War II.

On this Veteran’s Day I would like to honor my father Sgt Richard Lee FAHRENBRUCH.

“He served in the Army 1st Cavalry and lost his life in Vietnam April 3,1968🇺🇸 I was one month shy of 9 years old and he was finishing up his 2nd tour of duty😔 He had 30 days left and at home we were crossing off days on the calendar. He has been in my heart ever since that horrible day. He is my Veteran and this…”

Friday night at the Aggie Theatre on College Avenue is The Brothers Comatose, a California string band that mixes bluegrass, folk and Americana. North Fork Crossing will also be on the bill for the Nov. 13 show, presented by Maxline Brewing. String-band songwriting on a Friday in Old Town? Sounds like a good time.
