Local organizer proposes Vietnam Veterans parade; mayor asks for coordination with police
Summary
Steve Lawley asked Moody City Council for permission to hold a Vietnam Veterans parade on March 1, 2025, along Hwy 411 from ADESA Auto Auction to the Moody Civic Center; Mayor Joe Lee told him to work with Police Chief Reece Smith and return with a plan.
Steve Lawley addressed the Moody City Council during the Aug. 12 meeting to request approval for a Vietnam Veterans parade on Saturday, March 1, 2025, to run along Hwy 411 from ADESA Auto Auction to the Moody Civic Center.
Lawley said the event would honor Vietnam veterans and asked for the council’s support. Mayor Joe Lee responded that parades require planning with the city and the police department and asked Lawley to meet with Police Chief Reece Smith to coordinate details and then return to council with a formal plan for consideration.
Why it matters: a parade on a state highway and through city space requires traffic and public-safety coordination; early planning allows the city and police department to assess impacts and resource needs.
What’s next: Lawley was directed to work with Chief Smith and present a detailed plan to the council for formal approval.
