The town wants as many of local veterans and their families as possible to take part in the march, which will begin at Amogerone Crossway and move down to the memorial.
The march will begin at 10:30am and is fun for everyone walking as well as for those watching and applauding local veterans.
The march is being organized by the American Legion Post 29 in association with the Greenwich Police Dept and the Horseneck Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
During this time, Greenwich Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic from Amogerone Crossway to Arch Street so pedestrians can safely march.
