I'll be in the same parade on the 28th. Driving my M1009 wearing VFW decals. My son will be driving his M49A2C and M105 representing his employer, Prentice Heating and Air.

I finally got registered for my first parade on Memorial day. I'm excited about it. I'm gonna have a ton of kids in the back and they are already stoked about it, lol. I'll be up in Grand Rapids MI though.

Plenty around Pittsburgh PA! Hoping I can hit more than one in the same day.
I also get to drive my jeep around the local paved race track for their veteran's appreciation night that weekend. Really excited for that. Fingers crossed I don't break down!

Well, the Blairsville parade was probably the biggest yet. Robert, it was nice to meet you. Steelsoldiers was represented by Bobweb, myself and recovry4x4jr. All went quite well. I took zero pics but I know others did so I'll have to get them.

We had 12 vehicles in the Aiken, SC parade. They have a video posted on their (USMC Memorial Day Parade) Facebook page. I had some electrical problems and only got dashcam from the driver's side. I'll try to post one of the segments to You Tube and give a link on here.

Five of us ( @Nitrodiver @texas30cal @kendelrio @TAZZJR ) escorted the KILO-19 march on Crystal Beach yesterday. The event is held every Memorial Day weekend, and it is always an honor to participate.
The MV’s lead, followed by the walkers and then a parade of Jeeps.

Had the memorial day parade. It was great. All the kids had a blast. Fist time Walker ever had that many MV's. While the parade was good, afterwards on the way home was not. Had a front right brake get stuck, my diesel line for the flame heater melted on the intake and I had a fire. That was scary AF! Thank God I had my fire extinguisher and plenty bottles of water, I got the fire out before my truck was engulfed in flames. Got it going again and the brake finally let go after playing with the brake pedal and going back and forth. Now I know why it's better to delete that flame heater than keeping it on, lol.

Holy crap dude glad you are ok! My biggest fear with those trucks is losing breaks or having a blow out on the front.
