LETTER: Parade crowd impressed


Editor, The News:

On Nov. 7, I dressed to take part in the annual Veterans Day parade in the downtown.

I mentally prepared myself to see a diminished crowd of spectators. I wished for once, to get a crowd like the Christmas (oops, sorry about that word) parade. I meant Light Up Night.

Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to see more people lined on the street route. Parents and children waved flags, clapped and saluted those walking in the parade.

I wish I would have dropped out of the lead and gone over to the parents.
