2015 Memorial Day I had the honor of participating in two parades.

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.

Nice set of pictures, Bert. It says a lot that all those people stuck around even though it was raining hard.

Your truck looks great by the way.

I always like the photos of the vehicles lined up by size. It helps put things in perspective.

Hey Storm,

The M37 in the pictures belongs to Tom from our Military Vehicle Club, the M1009 radio truck behind it is what I was driving for Memorial Day.
