VETERANS' DAY PARADE
Veterans' Day Parade
11-11-2014
We met at Walmart on Fletcher Ave. and, when we were all there, proceeded to our staging area in the VA parking lot on the back side of the hospital. The parade formed up there and we drove around the hospital to the front parking lot, making a loop around the circle at the front entrance of the hospital. Many of the vets being treated at the hospital were out to watch the parade as well as a huge crowd. The parade route ended in the front parking lot where we parked the cars and enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs, compliments of the VA.
