On Sunday, Nov. 11, Hollister held its 17th annual San Benito County Veterans Day Parade and Ceremonies celebrating American servicemen and servicewomen.
Chaired by Frankie Gallagher, information officer for Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital, for the last decade and sponsored by the Hollister Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9242, the events were held exactly 100 years after the end of WWI. Spectators gathered on the streets of downtown Hollister to watch the procession, which included veterans in vintage cars and military vehicles, local students as well as scout troops.
