  2. Was a good parade and lots of people. The only thing that would have made it better, would have liked to see more floats.

  3. Who is the gentleman that takes all the pics and does rhe videoing? He does it for every parade/event and I can never find his stuff after. Thank you!

  4. What a beautiful day to celebrate our country. An honor to march with my fellow Legionnaires in color guard. Just wish more citizens knew how to show respect when Old Glory marches by. Please stand, gentlemen hats off, right hand over your heart. Means alot to those who served our country, some giving all, to protect our way of life. Least we forget.
