MILFORD – The Milford Oval was closed to traffic on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, to ensure prime viewing for hundreds of spectators cheering a parade of marchers from veterans’ organizations, civic groups and local scout troops, along with a mobile display of police and fire department vehicles whose lights and sirens added a loud exclamation point to a celebration of honor for all those whose military duties have kept the country free and citizens mindful of the sacrifices of military members past and present.
