Great pictures (as usual)
Great pictures (as usual) Randy.
I interviewed some ROTC kids who marched today and they said the crowd was much larger than usual. Did it look that way to you?
BTW, I wasn't aware that Ragsdale and Haslam are veterans.
I understand Michelle Carringer marched too, so evidently she also served.
Wow.
I haven't been to one in
I haven't been to one in years and years, so it's hard to say. There were definitely a lot of people. Every spot along the parade route was full several people deep.
