2006 Veterans Appreciation Parade

My thanks go out to the Brooksville City Council for waiving the associated fees and insurance for our 6th Annual Veterans Appreciation Parade at their meeting last night. Our parade is to honor all our veterans, including those currently serving to protect our freedom worldwide. The parade is scheduled on November 11 at 10 a.m. in downtown Brooksville. As the parade coordinator, I would like to thank the American Legion/Post 99 for allowing us to conduct our meetings in their facility again this year. Thanks also go out to Bob Haa at WWJB for his continued support of this peoples parade. Bob has invited Chief Tincher and I to promote this parade on his morning talk show every year. Hopefully, with community support, we can out-do ourselves over last year's parade. Last year we had floats, lots of participants, many veterans groups, military vehicle, Vietnam Veterans on motorcycles, even a float from Pinellas county, along with the Hernando High School Band (and much more). Please watch for the flyers in your area (soon) with the details. Stay tuned for more developing information in the coming weeks!
