Sierra Vista Arizona Veteran's Day Parade
Posted on 11/11/2003 12:05:51 PM PST by SandRat
That gave us our freedom.
Sierra Vista Arizona Remembers that on Veteran's Day.
Notice what the little girl's sign says.
It's so nice to see all the old veterans and you should have seen the twinkle in their eyes riding in these old vehicles.
Now come the Marines
Then the Navy
Then an element of the 11th Signal Brigade.
These guys just got back from the AOI about three weeks ago.
And the future our town and nation is hopeful.
This is the High School Jr. ROTC a full Battalion of 5 Companies.
When the colors passed the people stood and gave the proper courtesy to the colors and all along the parade route as the old timers passed and current serving troops passed could be heard the words, sometimes soft and sweetly as in a mother's voice and somtimes booming from a patriot watching;
Thank You!
We Love You!
God Bless You!
It's getting tough to finish posting this. My allergies must be acting up.

There should have been a large box of Kleenex at the beginning of this. *sniff*
Y'all aren't the only ones with "allergy problems" it appears. Thank you for posting these beautiful pics of the Veterans Day parade, SandRat.
And thanks so much for the ping, RC.
