The 78th annual Berks County Armed Forces Day Parade will be held in West Reading and Wyomissing on May 16.<\/p>\n
The parade honors all branches of the military, and this year will highlight the 250th anniversary of the nation and the enduring commitment to freedom.<\/p>\n
The Armed Forces Day Parade in Berks is the nation\u2019s oldest, as the holiday wasn\u2019t recognized federally until 1949, a year after the event started in Reading. The parade is put together by the Berks County Armed Forces Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n
The parade will start rain or shine at 10 a.m. in the 800 block of Penn Avenue in Wyomissing. It will follow Penn Avenue east into West Reading and conclude at Fourth Avenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 78th annual Berks County Armed Forces Day Parade will be held in West Reading and Wyomissing on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183533,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,182,139,858,28,128,130,129,289,706],"class_list":["post-183532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-ontap","tag-pennsylvania","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-things-to-do","tag-top-stories-reg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183532\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
