Veterans Day Parade 2009


It was RAINING as usual for a parade in Florence, but today it even out did the norm!! Holy Cow!!
This top pic is a before the parade started. . and the bottom one was after!! And it was only a 8 minute watch!!!!


 We were soaked by the time they were done, but we were in tears with pride to be there and to be an American and to live in this country and to say THANKS to those who have served and are serving to keep us free!!


Florence has a new ladder engine. . ha, we have a couple of three story buildings, so it was needed. . .


Steven offered to do some twirling, but we asked him not to!!

They were as pleased to see us as we were to see them. . it was so fun!!


This sailor was sure dressed appropriately, eh???  Mike Bones. . HA

Thats Dawnelle holding the flag at the bottom, ha, they were from Siuslaw Bank. .

Thanks again Vets for all your service to our country!!! God Bless you and the USA.
