2009 Hartford, Ct. Veteran's Day Parade.
Thanks to everybody for a very good turnout. We looked good and sounded strong. I received a compliment from a couple of members of the American Legion Post, # 84, from Simsbury, CT., who were marching directly behind us. They told me we kept the best cadence they had ever marched to in a Hartford parade! . Special Thanks to Claudia for pitching in to carry our colors. Kerby, and Joyce and all of our Artillery. Sorry we missed getting a picture of Candy. We had enough fifers that I got to play on my little drum!

And here we come with our Artillery leading the way!

Closer approach shot

Commander Middleton. Looking sharp, Dave!
