I didn't get around to posting for Memorial Day, but, better late than never. So, here are a few photos from our parade. And, I guess there is never a wrong time to remember those who fought and died so that we could have freedom.

| They bring out the big flag for important holidays |
 |
| Part of the fun of parades is "people watching". I think that lady pushing the stroller was either trying to be patriotic, or she just came from Wal-Mart. She might have pulled it off if she wore blue instead of black. |
 |
| The parade began with Civil War re-enactors giving a seven gun salute with their muskets. |
 |
| I don't know, but maybe that woman is supposed to be Betsy Ross. |
 |
| This man walks the entire parade reading off the names of our local patriots who have died defending our freedom. Unfortunately, he is followed by the band, who usually drowns him out. |
 |
| This is a new addition |
 |
| A sobering sight |
 |
| A reminder of all who make sacrifices for our freedom |

| Cute |

| The band. Let me just say, back in the olden days when I marched in the band, we did not have the luxurey of wearing shorts and tee-shirts. Oh no. We wore our full dress uniforms. Kids these days have it soooooo easy! |
Let me just take the opportunity to thank everyone for visiting a commenting on my last post. I appreciate your comments, and it may take me awhile to get around to commenting back to you - mostly because I'm slow and easily distracted. I could probably write an entire post on why it takes me so long...
But, in the meantime, let me say, THANK YOU!
