The two MV clubs I belong to (NY Military Vehicle Club & Long Island Military Vehicle Club) convoyed out to the city for a great Veterans day parade. We had a fantastic turnout of MV's and the NJ guys brought out some really amazing stuff. Including a couple of Gun Trucks and a Half Track. Traffic into the city was a horror but leaving went fairly quick. There was a good turn-out by the public and you can not do this parade with out welling up with tears.

Here are some photos from today.

I had a great time today as well. I met up with Randy Emr and his group at 6am. I had to leave my house at 4am to make it there in time. The parade was a lot of fun and I hope I can do it again next year!

Thanks for taking and posting the photos.
That is my Hmmwv and the only photo I have to show my wife that I was there.
Pat in NJ, M114

I guess she thinks you are out messing around on her?

Thanks for sticking close to me after the parade and keeping the formation tight Pat. It's always a pleasure to see you.

Hey MiKe it sure was Great to see U come up!!!!!I only had to get out of bed at 4, we were on the road at 0430 , I have to say we have the best of the best there, the 2 NYC clubs and the North jersey clubbers,and A couple of reanactor groups , we really just get along so well,we had an easy 30 vehicles and hit well over 40 in the past. I guess its easy with just such a Great bunch of guys!!!I have to plug the NYC port Authority Cops, Man they are awesome!! we get an escort thru the tunnel, always our own lane and some times our own tunnel!! escort right thru the traffic thru our own toll, also right to our stageing street!!,this year our serial the tunnel rats had 10 trucks, last year since we had over 25 trucks they actually shut down ALL the traffic in all the tolls for us to cross and enter,Man that was a sight to see!!!FYI, I could not find where to post and im an amature at this posting But next year Any steel soldiers that wants in is always welcome,!! We have the best time !! its worth the trip if anyone can make it, all are welcome, The MTA , we actually run 2 convoys in one over the GWB cdub runs in that one with Art swain, so there is alot of places for people to meet up with us, even coming from up north ,we will post all mtg points and times early next year , Its one of the best parades i have ever seen, 3 hours long, so we actually get to watch a ton of it before starting it, that is very nice.Oh and the city girls that go by all day! are just a sight not to be missed either...:-D...Randy
