Veterans Day Parade Today.

Yep, today the city held The Veterans Parade.
Local radio station said happy Veterans Day today and mail wouldn't be delivered. What? The Post Office is now getting 2 days off for Veterans Day? The real day and postponed day? The radio station went down a full list of offices that would be closed today. I would be more impressed to find out these Federal and State offices were actually open on weekends.

The highlight is small private planes did the missing man formation. That was really cool to see them.

Mustangs cars seem to be the favored vehicle to drive in a parade. From 1966 to present.

Since my son has been in every Veterans Day parade for the last 5 years, I asked him if this postponing to the weekend had more people coming to the parade. He thought there were less people this year. Today it was chilly so that might have played a factor in less people showing up for the parade.

Well I guess it matters not the day but the thought really. Happy to hear your son is in the parades.

Thanks to your son for participating!

He has a good time. The living history group in town is getting larger. The group is dedicated to preserving facts.

Supi, sounds like your son is doing a great job.

Stopsign, I used to enjoy embarrassing my son and his friends as a group. We used to all get a great laugh.

Opie - He isn't in the service, he's a living history buff.

Odie - He has been volunteering at the museum since he was 17. Most parents worry about their teens getting in trouble. I worried that museum curators were being annoyed with endless questions.
