OK, OK, if you all will oblige me just one more mention of Veteran’s Day ’05, then I can get back to bus talk…
My family went with my Dad-in-law and his wife to the Vet’s Day Parade downtown this morning (at 11:11am) and I took a bunch of pics and a few videos with my digital camera.
I assembled them into a short video to honor him and all Vets.
It’s slightly less than 4 minutes, 19.3MB, WMV9 format: http://www.brownland.org/veterans05/vetsday05.wmv
Thanks again, Vets!

Thanks Brian, very touching. Since our town is too small to have a parade this is the only one I got to see.

This looks like Longmont, CO. My father was born and raised there. Served in WWII.
Thanks,

David, it is indeed. Is your father still alive? If so, does he still live here?
Longmont has 70,000+ now. It was just a small farming community when your father was growing up.
Wow, small world!
Thanks,

many thanks for showing the video clip it was really nice seeing the armed services honoured .my late granddad was secconded to the american army in the second world war he landed on omaha beach he was a wireless operator. he died a few years ago he didnt talk much about the bad side of the war just the funny times, like the time he picked up a case of boxing gloves and they all turned out to be left handed. his name was fred dyson from halifax england |

Well Brian, seems like they have changed the street since I lived there, used to be you could park at an angle down the middle of the street back in 1960 when I lived there after I got out of the service. I was in the service when nobody cared about the service men and looked down on them and didn't want to have much to do with them. Even the VFW and the AL didn't want us in their groups, still enjoyed the parades but still feel left out hehehe. thanks for the Video Randall |
