Had the honor of hauling 11 Korean War vets and 2 Vietnam vets in my Deuce yesterday. Had Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force personnel representing as well as me for the FSMM. Also is a picture of 1 of the 2 LMTVs that showed up for the parade. Both were full of vets as well. There must have been over 2 dozen MVs there for the parade, most of them with vets from what I saw.
During the parade it was pretty unreal. The entire route was just jam packed with people, sometimes up to 12 deep on each sidewalk from what I saw. The entire time while driving with the vets 99% of the people were on their feet clapping, saluting, and saying "THANK YOU" to the vets. Even heard 5 year old kids saying this; atleast someone is educating their little ones properly about the sacrifices made to be here today. Was an awesome way to honor these fine individuals for their service.
Met SS member SGTStewart while loading up the vets. His M109A3 is a nice looking rig. Wish I could have talked to him longer but I was loaded up told to get in the lineup by the parade coordinator.
