Well, I made it through my first Parade!! Our town, Chardon, hosts the Annual Geauga Maple Festival, and I was asked to bring my truck for the two day parade for the Local VFW and American Legion post. I readily accepted, little did I know that out of all the parade entrants, I was the FIRST vehicle in the parade; the pressure was on for a smooth ride!!
My son got to march with some of the vets in his WWII paratrooper reenactor uniform and gear, it was quite an honor for him.
On Sunday the clouds rolled in and we were sure it would thunderstorm, with no cargo cover on the truck, my 14 year old son took two of his wwII shelter halves, snapped them together and fashioned a "field expedient" for the vets. But the rain held off and most of them marched.
Later, sitting back, with the truck tucked in the garage during the rainstorm, sipping on a cold one, I realized how worthwhile it has been to bring this old war horse back from the grave to become the leader of the pack. Good times!
