The first one was 15 minutes down the road in Racine, WI. It started to rain the instant the parade started. It didn't force many to leave even though it was a gully washing / frog drowning type of rain.
This is the very start of the parade and I was placed as the second vehicle behind the IWO JIMA Float.

This is half way through the parade and there were still allot of people lining the street.

Here are a couple of pictures of us waiting for the parade to start in downtown Milwaukee, WI.


This is a picture of the trucks parked at the War Memorial Park, at the lakefront.
