I love the Veterans Day Parade in NYC. It's the only city parade I regularly see, since I'm almost always in the office, and have a fabulous view of Fifth Avenue out the window. Mayor Bloomberg just walked by!
I love the crowds, the flags, marching bands, bagpipes, and the drum cadences reverberating off the tall buildings. I love that I get to see so many different groups I wouldn't normally have the privilege to see - veterans of all eras, active duty military, ROTC and JrROTC units, civic + youth groups, high school marching bands.
Soo many flags waving, and a good crowd. Did I mention the marching bands? Almost makes me miss my high school marching band. (Shhhh!)
Even more exciting for me this year than marching bands is the special significance of our country entering a new era of hope + progress. Can't beat that with a shiny motorcycle or classic car.
