The horsies! The cars! The flyover jets! What a perfect parade you had!
I remember when I was a young Girl Scout, how proud I was to march in Memorial Day parades. I even got to carry the flag once, the height of GS cool... And there was always a picnic after on the grounds of some school or veterans' hall. One felt very American, and in the best way. Good times, good times.
There was a Memorial Day (I think) celebration here in NYC some years back, or maybe it was 4th of July (though I doubt I'd have gone out for that, because of July 3), when all manner of craft came flying up the Hudson River and I went across town to check it out. I really went to see the Stealth bomber, and it was the coolest thing EVER. Came up the river very slow, it seemed, all black and spooky-looking. Loved it.
