This past October, a gentleman from the VFW happened by my house one morning and noticed my M37 sitting in the driveway. It was a cold morning and when I opened the door, I invited him him. He asked me if my M37 (he knew what it was) ran, and if I would like to enter it into the Veteran's Day Parade? Being a veteran myself, I gladly told him I would. We made arrangements to meet up at the VFW on the morning of the parade. That is where all veterans assemble and for those with a military vehicle to line up in their vehicles.
Well, as things were getting organized for the ride/walk up to the lakeside park memorial site, the Korean Vet and four other veterans about his same age climbed into the back, and stood abreast looking over the cab of my truck as we made our way to the veterans memorial park. The man I spoke with a month earlier, was in the middle of the gentlemen and he played his trumpet all the way to the park.. honoring each branch with their respective songs.
All the grade school kids were lined up all the way along both sides of the road with their parents and so many others. The M37 was a HUGE success and the men who rode with me that day were so happy.
It was a wonderful memory.
