“This is a momentous occasion for Adams to have the opportunity to bring the World Famous Budweiser Clydesdales here to Birmingham. The Clydesdales represent more than just Budweiser—they embody America’s industrial spirit as a whole, making them the perfect addition to lead such an important event like the 75th Annual National Veterans Day Parade, honoring those who put their lives on the line for American freedom. Whether they’re seen at a parade in Iowa, a rodeo in Texas or a Christmas market in Cullman, the Clydesdales are and will always be a crowd pleaser.”
