Military appreciation Parade...May 16th



Military Appreciation
We came to show our support even though we are active participants everyday.
Its a small town with alot of Veterans and Active & Reserve duty members.
One thing I noticed about the parades here, people don't crowd you....the route is pretty long and people spread out pretty good and always make room for more.
We sat in front of a truck that had a flatbed and the guy who owned it had his family and few others that he didn't know join him up there, that's just how country folk are....super nice and giving around here.

Marcel & the other 2 waiting for the parade to get to us.

Here it comes.....

Fort Drum


The band....

Next were the people who help decorate the Airfield as the troops fly in from being deployed.

Of course housing had to represent....I want a red or blue house someday...maybe when we come back stateside we can get Drum again or close to CA.

Paying my respects to my girl scouts

......And now the vets in their cars
They had some sweet ass rides ......


for you mom....pink & yellow

MUSCLE CARS



A VET IN A 'VETTE

As the floats and cars were passing by they were also throwing candy to all the kids....Matty asked my why didn't I have a bag to put all the candy in ??? really kid ???....


I made them give half their loot to the kids in the truck bed above us since they didn't get any from the ground like my scavengers did...
They were not very happy about that....oh well




Marcel asked if this was Wall-E..... AWE





They stopped in front of us too.....but Marcel started to cry so he went to the other side.


The Bugle Boys...

...And that was the end of the parade...
The End
