Veteran’s Day Parade
Last Wednesday, I saw hundreds of Mobillians pour out of office buildings, restaurants, and day cares to line the downtown streets. Many of the midmorning crowds were standing in their proud colors of red, white, and blue. Others were carrying framed photos of decorated solders from generations before their time. I was there helping the Exchange Club of Mobile hand out small American flags along the parade route. Now, I have always loved parades, maybe its because I am from a small town and we simply can’t resist a good parade. But when I learned about this opportunity, I was thrilled to be apart.
