Some people compare the little town I live in to the fictional town of Mayberry.
I prefer to compare it to any Norman Rockwell illustration. There isn't anytime where this is more evident than on Memorial Day.
The Vets are front and center to listen to the speeches. They are the guests of honor.
The man in the yellow shirt is someone that I have known since I was a child.
The saboteur was too busy marching and playing the trumpet to mug for the camera! 
The parade was small, but the bands were mighty!
Everyone wears their colors.
I think the first bike looks a lot easier to ride than this old fashioned one...After the parade, speeches, and essays -the entire town gathers for hot dogs,beer, and...
fellowship.

Absolute perfection. What a lovely day you captured. Wasn't your heart just bursting with pride? You should submit some of these pics to your local newspaper too. They are that good! I have always wondered how someone get on and off one of those bikes. Have a great week. xoxo

Thanks for taking us to the parade, Preppy. Looked like a great one! Nice picture of the Sabateur!! Don't know how that man got on and off that bike!! xoxo
It sounds like we live in very similar type towns. There is such a feel of community. So far, one of the boys has said that he plans to raise his children here some day, another said he wants to be mayor someday and the third just wants to live at home forever (I am not too sure about that ;)
It was a great day! So good to see you. We definitely need to have that lunch soon!
Oh I love the photos so touching and I could feel the love of your small town!! Sweet... Enjoy my friend! xoxo
