Memorial Day Parade



Yesterday my town celebrated Memorial Day with our annual parade. It was one of those wonderful events that made me glad to part of this community. The boy scouts, the girl scouts, the high school band and pom squad all marched proudly down the street. There were dancers and baton twirlers, red-hat ladies and local politicians. Vintage cars decorated with red, white and blue joined fire trucks and police cars. I knew many of the marchers. We waved and cheered and had a lovely day. It was a time of patriotism and community that made me feel proud to be an American.

Looks very much like the parades we have here in O-Town.
I love the way our little community gets behind these kind of things.
It really does make one proud! :)

A wonderful day, full of pride, just like our ANZAC Day 25th April every year... just wonderful! Lest We Forget!

Looks like a fun day. We never have Memorial Day parades here, only 4th of July. But there was a service at the memorial downtown.
