This is the Apple Butter makin Days Parade last weekend. My dad the guys in his Korean war dress uniform drove the mutt while my Youngest rode in back throwing candy. The rest of us walked and through candy. As we came around the corner into full view of everyone we were met with applause the whole way through. Great Parade and Great memories. Enjoy the pictures Vets you earned it.

Hey 42,
Great pictures, thanks for sharing. That last one for some reason reminds me of that Gomer Pyle episode where Moondoggy the hippie painted the command center truck while out in the woods on maneuvers. :D

You six look like the ideal squad to defend that Apple Butter RV. I like those photos and definately saw the family resemblance in that photo of your son and father. Pretty damn cool.

Very, very cool parade squad you have there. You dad looks proud. Hope the reason for the PH didn't leave any lasting issues.
