Gen. Kris A. Belanger, Commanding General, 85th U.S. Army Reserve Support Command, during the 67th Annual Columbus Day Parade in the City of Chicago, October 14, 2019. The Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans sponsored the parade that showcased nearly 110 marching units and floats from various community and ethnic organizations. “Food and Culture” was the theme of this year’s parade. One of the newest attractions of this year’s parade was the Bersaglieri marching band, a military marching band, which traveled from Sicily to participate in this year’s parade.
