John Seitz and John Summers will serve as the grand marshals for the Sundown Salute parade on July 4th.

Parade Coordinator Tricia Verschage said both men have gone above and beyond for the City of Junction City in what they do. “John Seitz was the Military Affairs Council director for several years and he puts on the Veterans Ceremony every year. ” Summers was one of the founders of Sundown Salute and in the early years spent time coordinating the celebration.

Verschage said, “The two of them, they say JC Proud all day long. They are just proud of this community.” JC Proud is the theme of the Sundown Salute parade.

The parade begins at 10 a.m. on July 4th.
