everybody loves a parade

I walked down to the Memorial Day parade in downtown Westfield this morning. It's a spectacular day out, perfect for a parade!

It had a small-town feel, and everyone clapped for the veterans, police, and fire department, as well as all the school bands, and even the local politicians.



And, of course, a fire truck bringing up the rear:


A couple of A10s from Barnes flew over a few times (I can still hear them now, as a matter of fact). It was a nice tribute to those who serve their country. Thanks, folks!

Nice pics--my daughters were in our town's memorial day parade (a small affair, just the school bands and the boy scouts and girl scouts), but for the first time, I wasn't with them--I was with my younger son at a horse show--and we saw those fighter planes fly overhead! (At least, I assume they must have been the same ones...)

I'm sure they were - they fly over all the area parades. They're still flying around. Boy, are they loud! I'm very glad the airport is on the other side of town. :)
