Veterans Day! And Parades are in order! Pleasanton is today - 11/2 - and San Jose is, gee whiz, on 11/11! Veteran's Day!
The weather was supposed to be "iffy" but turned out nice, it did not rain all day...er, until John and I headed back home, John had just pulled off and about a mile down the road, the skies opened up! It was for two miles, just enough to mess things up, sigh. But the parade was good for all!
Bike count as close as I could guess, as folks kept arriving at different times and a group escorted Heuy to the parade, was about 25. We made up for that in volume! GBG
So District 13 ALR staged at Post 564 to ride to the parade staging a bit before 0900 and of course Jake had to show up 1 minute before 0900 shouting "I'm not late" GBG
John, Don, Jake, Georgie, Gary, Audie and Cheryl.
The parade pre-staging area, Sgtmaj was the only one there, we were early.. more showed up later..
The parade staging area....
Another shot.
Here's Huey! Bunker, Spike, Rich, and others escorted him to the parade!
I caught Spike's daughter looking at Huey and she saw me before I got the shot off...
I wondered why all the leaves were in Huey.... duh camouflage.... geez!
Another staging shot...
I had a chance to do a shot during the parade, we were behind Huey.
After the parade, we did not have to wear helmets or much gear during the parade, so time to suit up for the ride home and the "shower"!
The town turned out in force, nice crowd. They enjoyed the parade as I think we all did!
God Bless those that serve!
