The largest Veteran's Day parade will be broadcast nationwide on Friday morning. The parade will take place on Friday morning at 10:00 AM in Fresno California. The parade is being picked up by over 10,000 TV stations nationwide (last count). The Pentagon will be picking up the broadcast to send to the troops overseas.
The parade will stop at 11:11 for a moment of silence to commenmorate those that lost their lives defending this great country.
Will the Pentagon pick up the tab, too? Scratch that, it really doesn't matter. I just hope the loonie moonbats don't crash the party.
Well take that all you California bashers! LOL
Marine Corps Bump!
Keeping my father, a WWI Doughboy and one of my brothers, a Korean War veteran, in my thoughts and prayers.
May they and all veterans, who paid the ultimate price, rest in peace.

The tab for the parade is being run from donations to the
Fresno American Legion post.
This years parade is being dedicated to the Viet Nam vets.
Fresno PD will be patrolling the parade route.

cable or regular tv?
which affiliates?
Well, get this one. The Flora, IL Veteran's Day parade will be followed by the dedication of the new WWII Memorial at 2 P.M. with the keynote speaker none other than the disgusting Dick (Turban) Durbin. UGH...... Our brave veterans and loved ones who died in any war would turn over in their graves if they knew this. Whoever invited this traitor made a serious mistake.
The local station that is doing the initial feed is an NBC affiliate. Who picks it up from them in of course an unknown.
