Can't have a parade without a firetruck can you?

I think Tulsa put on a fine parade for our Veterans. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Its the least we can do. Lets think of them the rest of the year also.

What a wonderful parade Yogi, great photos! My sincerest and heart-felt thanks to all our Veterans past and present. Where would we be without them? Thank you for stopping by.

Looks like a great parade with a little of every transportation mode. My favs are the golf cart(!) and, of course, the horse.
