Unfurling of Old Glory
Streets of Columbia | 04 June 2008 | Gulfwar1vet

Posted on 06/04/2008 8:10:02 PM PDT by GulfWar1Vet

Every Memorial Day Weekend, the city of Columbia has the Memorial parade, and they unfurl Old Glory in the middle of town while the parade goes under it.

It's pretty amazing to see Old Glory like this.

This year I didn't participate in the parade, so I had a chance to take pictures of the Columbia FD put up Old Glory.

Beautiful flag....I get a lump in my throat every time I see
it blowing in the breeze...or covering a hero’s coffin...or see children pledging their allegiance to it.

Oh, yes it is. It is such a thrill to stand at that corner and look up. Every year. It’s one of the best parts of the parade.
