Brandon Fourth of July Parade |
While recovering from the Orlando “Back to the World” reunion, I came across this story in the Brandon News: “It was a glorious Fourth of July parade this year and Mother Nature kept the rain clouds back until much later in the day. More than 125 units passed the reviewing stand… This year’s TOP KUDOS go to the following: President’s Award Adult with best in theme, workmanship and music went to the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association;… Best Veteran Marching Unit went to the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association.” For those that missed it, the parade was wonderful and our participation was outstanding. Brandon LOVED us! We were the hit of the parade. The North Carolina Chapter brought down their Cobra (with 1st CAV markings, I might add!!), Charlie Model Gunship, and Medevac Slick, and the Florida LZ Chapter had our OH6 LOH. And to top things off, there were about 300+ of us helicopter pilots that marched in front of, in between, along side of and behind the helicopters!! It was a sight to behold!! On behalf of the Florida LZ Chapter Organizing Committee, I would like to thank each and every one of you who participated. We can all be proud, because as usual, we stood mighty Tall!! THANK YOU ALL!! Herb Nagel 70-5 Orange Hats B/227 1 CAV 70-71 – Masher49 Florida LZ Chapter Sectry – Tampa,FL Huey49@aol.com |
