Cecil Sandifer named parade grand marshal

Organizers have chosen Westminster resident Cecil Sandifer to ride as grand marshal in the 2019 Veterans Day Parade in Oconee County.  This year’s parade will make its way through the city of Westminster starting at 5 o’clock Monday evening, November 11. In a long life, Purple Heart recipient Sandifer was a civic and municipal leader, state lawmaker, and founder of the Sandifer Funeral Home.  Jerry Dyar, county veterans director, says the annual parade is a people-oriented event to which all veterans are invited to participate.  Members of the general public are encouraged to line the parade route to cheer on those who served their country.  For more information, contact the V-A Office at 638-4231 or Wayne Morton at 723-7481.
