In Case You Missed the Parade

     It was Memorial Day, dedicated to remembering and honoring people who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. And it is also the unofficial beginning of summer

     The Memorial Day parade is a time-honored tradition in small towns and big cities all across the country. In case you weren't able to get to a parade this year, here are a few photos from our parade in Pennsylvania.

     There were fire engines.


     An honor guard.


     Old cars.


     And horses ... a local group works with horses and wounded vets.


     Along  with boy scouts and cub scouts, brownies and girl scouts.


     Some weird stuff, too, like this old VW bus (which if you look carefully, is being pushed!).


          A marching band.


     The Village Improvement Association supports the hospital and other health facilities in town.


     Another marching band.


     This guy on an old-style bicycle.


     A patriotic group of players.


     Yes ... a helicopter!


     A dancing troupe tumbled along.


     There's a Civil War museum in town -- Pennsylvania is rightfully proud of its role in abolition, the underground railroad and the Civil War.
   

     And, finally, the farmers brought up the rear.

Way to go Tom!

How many horses were there exactly? I only see the one, and it seems to be taking three people to steady it, and none of the three are seated, which reminds me of something that I think about from time to time about emotional support animals. Namely, why not use cats because that way the person would be distracted from his or her own problems by having to calm the cat.

That looks like a lot of fun and a lot of work too in the preparation and organization of it.

Love your weather!

I did not see a parade this year. Around here it the 4th of July that seems to have a parade on the main streets of every town, but I know that thee are a few Memorial Day parades as well.

I do not love parades, but find them nostalgically satisfying as I have aged and they bring back memories of my youth when all we could afford was a parade.

I quite like parades, I think partly they seem so at odds with many of the modern traits of today's world. On one side there are the computer games, YouTube, online shopping etc which would have been unimaginable to previous generations, and on the other side we watch a parade of old vehicles, bands and people dressed up in uniforms in just the same way as people have been watching for generations. It's funny how some things change and some things stay exactly the same.

Now that is a proper parade and thanks since I didn't make it to town this year. My favorites are always the old cars and horses.

How i got cured of HIV with the use of natural herbs. My name is Sharon, I’m from USA. Most times, injection and drugs are waste of time. I was cured 8 months ago, i suffered from HIV for 13 yrs but with the help of Dr AIGBE herbal medicine, i was cured within few weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through courier delivery service. This same doctor also cured my sister from herpes, as soon as i heard she had herpes, i quickly referred her to Dr AIGBE and she was cured too after drinking his herbs. I have referred more than 15 persons to DR AIGBE and they were all cured from their various illnesses. You have spent so much money on drugs, injections, surgeries etc. Yet you have no good result to show for it. Contact Dr AIGBE, he is a herbalist doctor and a spell caster. I assure you of a cure if you drink his natural herbs. Dr AIGBE has herbs that cure HIV, Herpes, diabetics, asthma, hepatitis, HBP, STD, cancer etc. Please share the good news to other people once you are cured via draigbeherbalhome@ gmail. com or call/watsapp:+2349014575214. Dr AIGBE is also a spell caster. He brought back my Aunty's husband after several years of depression and rejection by her husband.

Hola a todos, mi nombre es luciana y estoy aquí para testificar sobre cómo recuperé a mi esposo después de que él nos abandonó a mí y a nuestros hijos durante más de 2 años. Mi esposo nos dejó solos y preocupados y yo estaba triste porque no estaba contento con el hecho de que mis hijos crecerán sin un padre y estaba más preocupada porque no puedo imaginar perder a mi esposo por una compañera. Así que comencé a buscar cualquier forma posible de conseguirlo, pero todo fue en vano, luego decidí hablar con mi amiga Olivia, quien me contó sobre un Dr. alusi y sus maravillosos trabajos y cómo ayudó a las personas en situaciones problemáticas, ella me dio su dirección de contacto y lo probé, así que cuando finalmente respondió mi correo electrónico, él (alusi) me dijo lo que debía hacer y también hizo su parte, después de lo cual me aseguró que mi esposo volvería a mí en menos de 7 días y para terminar todo ahora estoy satisfecho porque mi esposo ha regresado a nosotros y mis hijos tienen la oportunidad de estar con su padre. Entonces, mis compañeras, no sé, todas tenemos un problema u otro y les digo que el Dr. Alusi es capaz de poner fin a esa situación. Entonces, si necesita ayuda, comuníquese con él a través de su dirección de correo electrónico [dr.alusistanley@gmail.com] o +2348146050373.

I have been suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) disease for the past four years and had constant pain. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and i have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information concerning the prevention of this disease, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Herpes Simplex Virus by this by Dr voodoo and she also gave the email address of this man and advise anyone to contact him for any kind of problem that he would be of help, so i wrote to Dr voodoo telling him about my (Herpes Virus) he told me not to worry that i was going to be cured!! Though i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later i started experiencing changes all over me as the Dr voodoo assured me, after some time i went to my doctor for test and it confirmed that i have be finally healed behold it was TRUE, So friends if anyone have such problem and need help contact Dr voodoo on his email: voodoospelltemple66@gmail.com Add Dr voodoo on whatsApp +2348140120719
