What a great day! The Veteran's Day Parade down Main Street, planes screaming overhead, tanks, soldiers, guns. Whew!
One of the best parts for me is the high school marching bands. I especially like the bands from the black high schools. The drum corps always manages to jazz up the simplest of rhythms.
My brothers and I collect firearms so I'm always curious to see what the ROTC cadets are carrying. Mostly decommissioned M-14's or probably M1a's, but today I saw a sizable number of Garands and Enfields. I like the M1 Garand. I have a minty one that is a pleasure to shoot. The first rifle I ever shot though was a Model 1917. My father figured he'd have to pick me up afterwards but I surprised him and immediately chambered another round.
This is the day they erect and trim the Christmas tree in Pegasus Square. Neiman Marcus is getting ready for their holiday season. What fun! This is a great time of year, especially Downtown.
