Local vets to join national march Saturday

NEW MIDDLETOWN

Veterans across the U.S. will walk in solidarity Saturday to raise awareness of veteran issues that need immediate attention and action: homelessness, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder and unemployment.

The march begins at 12:30 p.m. Saturday; the local march will start at the former Sparkle Market and end at the administration building, 10711 Main St.

A flag-raising ceremony will take place and speakers will address the group.
