From the parade Wednesday evening. I had the privilege of driving for the American Legion. All branches of service were represented in that group and let me tell you, the jokes being fired off between those branches put most comedians to shame.
Their float for the past several years was was a modestly decorated 6x9 trailer with a couple hay bales. Obviously not something that stands out or is even of much notice in a parade. This year they went from the smallest float to the tallest. There were many, many salutes and "thank you for your service" comments, where years past they didn't receive many at all. The attention they received was impressive and long overdue. The parade ended with everyone smiling ear to ear and I was booked indefinately for future parades.
Wednesday night, this was their truck. Their job was to enjoy themselves, the Swamp Donkey had to please the masses and I had to get us there and back. We all did our jobs well.
