Downtown Memphis holds Veterans Day parade

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Memphis marked Veterans Day on Wednesday with a downtown parade honoring the men and women who served in the U.S. armed forces.

The tradition started Nov. 11, 1918, when an armistice with Germany ended World War I at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
