"If there is anyone in the world today who doubts the seriousness of the Bush Doctrine, I would urge that person to consider the fate of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq," - Vice President Richard Cheney

Morning, all! Great pic, nully. (^:

More news on our Vet's parade from the local Longmont, CO. local paper:

~~~

Paul Rock began to banter an idea around with his fellow veterans of having a motorcycle ride down Main Street honoring fallen and returning soldiers, including Lance Cpl. Zachary Rock, 19, who spent four months in Iraq and is now back in Longmont.

"All of a sudden, one thing led to another, and I am trying to put on a parade," Paul Rock said.

Rock talked with city officials last week, and this Sunday, veterans will take to Main Street in a show of support for the veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The parade is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. and will run from Eighth to Third avenues along Main Street.

Rock is still trying to nail down participants for the parade..

~~

All veterans and motorcyclists are welcome to join the parade, Rock said.

The staging area will be at Eighth and Coffman. Rock said all participants should arrive by no later than 11 a.m.
