Emotional Flyover in Mamou On Veterans Day Caught on Camera

(Mamou, Louisiana) - As families remembered those who served or are currently serving our country on Veterans Day, there was an emotional flyover and parade in Mamou.

Many communities came together on Veterans Day to honor those who are serving or have served our country, and many of the ceremonies were emotional for families.

One of the best Veterans Day ceremonies takes place in the small town of Mamou, and it has been a community staple for decades.

Growing up there, I remember always looking forward to the Veterans Day parade in Mamou, and as a Boy Scout, I've marched in it many times to honor those serving our country.

Flyover in Mamou

This year, the small rural town held another great parade, featuring marching bands, floats, veterans, and even a flyover. Yes, you read that correctly: there was a flyover in Mamou as the annual Veterans Day parade rolled down Sixth Street, leaving adults and kids looking up as two small planes flew over the parade route.

The two planes over the flyover were aircraft used by farmers for their crops, but just their presence on Veterans Day left many stunned as they honored Veterans.

After the parade, a ceremony was held at the local VFW Hall, where marching bands performed the National Anthem, and dignitaries spoke about those who have served and are currently serving our country.
