Local veterans advocate Jeff Morlock has been named the 2019 Clinton Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade Grand Marshal.

Chamber Executive Director Marian Brisard says Morlock's work with veterans in the community is very well known and he coordinated numerous trips for them on the Land of Lincoln Honor Flight, which is a one day trip to Washington, D.C. to see all the memorials.

Brisard says around 18 nomination letters came in and his parents will be driving him in the Christmas Parade on November 30 at 2 pm in downtown Clinton.
