Veterans Day Parade
I have heard that our county hosts the largest Veteran's Day parade in our state. Whether it is or not, it certainly is quite a production for our rural little corner of America. All 3 high school marching bands are there, all of the scout troops, each of the JROTC squads from the schools, each of the rescue squads and fire departments, a set of Clydedale horses, bagpipers, a Confederate Army group, and a host of other patriotic groups.
We haven't been to the parade in a couple of years, but Leah was asking when we would go again. It is a beautiful fall day, so we went. Sometimes it is bitterly cold and not so pleasant! The kids have a great time...
My brother was coming into town and joined in the parade at the last minute with his Humvee. He cracks me up :)
Leah and Granni hanging out on the sidewalk waiting for it to start. The whole parade lasted more than an hour.
Where did she go????
Despite looking extremely bundled up, it really wasn't that cold. We were just very prepared!Thank you to all those who have served...including my dad, brother and husband...
Happy Veteran's Day!
