This year’s Grand Marshal is Jim Vance, a decorated Vietnam veteran who during the war was given command of a gunship fire team consisting of two UH-1 “Huey” helicopters outfitted with machine guns and rockets. Later he flew a Cobra, the world’s first fully deployed attack helicopter, during the Tet Offensive.
The NYNJ Port Authority Pipe & Drum Band, Hoboken High School Band, Weehawken High School Band, Union City High School Band, and others will be on hand.
