In military traditions of various times and places, there have been numerous methods of performing salutes, using hand gestures, cannon or rifle shots, hoisting of flags, removal of headgear, or other means of showing respect or deference. Saluting is also used by the Police and Fire Departments.

Mill Valley honors those who gave their lives and those who continue to protect our country, our town and our way of life. Small town pride, Mom, Apple Pie, Freedom, Opportunity and Democracy.

The I Love a Parade Committee's intention for each year's theme is to inspire and support the Mill Valley community to be the best town in America. 

Let's all play with our friends, neighbors and fellow merchants. Break out the Red White and Blue, build wondrous floats, great window displays and show our kids and country how creativity and working together help to create amazing results.
