The pictures are awesome, mr wiggy, thanks! Several of the closeups on vets were thought provoking too.

This was a command performance, droogies. I was asked by various veterans (as you can see in other posts here) and by the group that puts on the parade to make sure I showed up and took photos for the parade this year. I was also asked by the 338th US Army Band to take some photos of them, and by the veterans of South Vietnam's armed forces as well. So without further ado, the heroes.

Sat Nov 7th is the 4th Detroit Veterans Parade.
Have you made any contact with the Metropolitan Detroit Veterans Coalition about photography at this years parade?

Have the MDVC contacted you about photos at the 2009 parade?

I see many pictures of the 2008 parade on Flickr, Can these be copied as I have found several that I would like to copy. A friend on mine, and one or two of me in the color guard.

Was informed of pictures of Detroit Veterans Day Parade, 2008. Would like to get copy of the last picture; the sailor (me), from the back, walking away, after the parade. John Williams

Here are the photos from the drive, as usual:

I went to McDonald's for lunch today, just before I went to do my laundry.

Sitting across from me were two men conversing with each other. Normally, I would be engrossed in my newspaper and would not hear them, or I would be watching CNN on the TV hanging from the wall over the row of tables. Today, however, there were no newspapers in the paper machine when I came in, and someone had (once again) vandalized the TV set, so it was displaying "Please insert smartcard to continue."

One man was speaking earnestly to the other. I happened to overhear. Here is what he said:
