Wow. I can't believe it. You had others jumping in. At a parade. It doesn't get much better than that. Thanks for posting this. I needed some good news today.

The others jumped right in. My son was hanging back at first. He had no idea what was happening. There we are at the start of the Veteran's Day Parade, and his mom just starts screaming at the top of her lungs!!

He was at the crossroads. "Is she crazy or cool." When other people took up the cheer he went with cool and cheered along with us!!!

But thanks to Freerepublic for giving me the wherewithal to do it!
