COL. Joanne Breslin, Commander of the Varnum Continentals Militia and Vice President for the Varnum House Museum has been selected as the Grand Marshal. The “Lone Piper” Aaron Lindo will lead the parade which will feature Police and Fire Honor Guards, Elected Officials, Veteran Dignitaries and the always resplendent local militia groups the Kentish Guards and Varnum Continentals.
