I have'nt been to this parade in awhile. If the days nice, maybe we can pull off a nice long cruise afterwards. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 ODSS Lawman | | ODSS Lawman Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 |

John will give you more details and pictures (hopefully). He's still working outside ... moved all those leaves to the compost pile. Now he's gone next door to pick up our two trailers and park 'em back where they belong.
John had a big sign on the sides of Smedley honoring the Marines at Beirut.
The neatest part of the parade ... there was the first batch of folks (VIPs) in vehicles, flags, etc. Then a bunch of Camaros and Vettes, followed by a small marching band. Another long string of newer vehicles. John Vanatta joined our "group of two" military vehicles with his Model A. As we came up the big hill towards the town, people started standing up and clapping as we approached. It was amazing. Many of the guys who appeared to be veterans were saluting the two trucks. I kept getting a lump in my throat.
John can tell more.

He drove his Stang Convertible and I my panel. We had some flags and bows on the door handles ect. It was heart warming as folks clapped and could be hear saying THANK YOU many times. It almost brought a tear to the eye. I was also surprised at the young folks who were waving flags and also hollering Thank You as we went by. They may not fully understand yet but they will always remember the day and sometime in the future know why.
..... I almost didn't make it. What a shame that would have been. The best part is that Art is almost 80 years old and after the parade we went to Chc-Fil-A. As we ate Art told me some of his stories while in the Navy. I personally thank him and since he had his cap on just about everyone in the place came by and Thanked him. Maybe there is hope for us yet. | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,719 62401 | | 62401 Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,719 | Can't add much to what Peggy said -- it was moving to see the reaction of so many people to us veterans. I returned a lot of salutes! Here's our picture A friend of ours (retired Marine Corps Harrier pilot and fellow USNA grad) who is running for State Senate was in the back. A friend with an M-923A2 was behind us.
