Ncmvpa and nc veterans day parade

[bulldog_mack13]

Im getting all the pictures ready. It went great today , no brakes downs ! No accidents and the crowd really enjoyed it all.

Very good turnout by military vehicles like Rob said. We ran a great parade route and afterwards we had a line up of military vehiles in front on the capitol building for the Veterans day ceremony. Many many world war two vets and all the way up to guys like myself in the current Iraq war.

AND after that we went to Ray Price Harley dealership for a event they were putting on.

Well the day started off at 0600 with rain which lastested all the way till the 0900 parade start time. Still an outstanding parade and a good turn out. It was great meeting all the NCMVPA members that i havent meet yet. I think there was a total of 18 or so military vehicle which 14 were from the NCMVPA. We will have alot of photos posted. Rob
