I sent this in for the newsletter, and want to post it here as well. Less than 180 days to the Parade...and its going to be a good one this year!!!! It is a unique experience, and I hope everyone will consider it!!!
YOU’RE INVITED!!!!
SINCE 2000, THE PHOENIX VETERANS DAY PARADE HAS INCLUDED THE SALUTE TO THE WAR DOG ENTRY. THIS PARADE IS THE FOURTH LARGEST PARADE IN THE UNITED STATES ...THERE ARE NORMALLY OVER 100 ENTRIES, AND OVER 100,000 PEOPLE WHO COME OUT AND SALUTE YOU, THE VETERAN. THIS YEAR WILL BE NO DIFFERENT. OUR ENTRY HAS BEEN UNIQUE IN THE PARADE. THIS PAST YEAR OVER 50 PEOPLE MARCHED WITH THEIR GERMAN SHEPHERDS TO HONOR YOUR DOG AND THEIR SERVICE IN VIET NAM AND OTHER CONFLICTS.
THIS LETTER IS TO INVITE YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS YEARS VETERANS DAY PARADE IN PHOENIX, AZ ON NOVEMBER 11TH, 2006. THE PARADE ROUTE IS A TWO-MILE HIKE DOWN THE STREETS OF PHOENIX, AZ. THERE MAY BE A LIMITED NUMBER OF DOGS AVAILABLE FOR A VETERAN TO WALK WITH. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE VETERANS OF EACH COMPANY TO MARCH TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN. THIS TIME TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE CROWD FOR A JOB WELL-DONE. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE CLUBS THAT PARTICIPATE THIS YEAR AS WELL. MANY OF THESE GREAT FOLKS HAVE MARCHED EACH OF THE SIX YEARS. I WANT TO REWARD THEM WITH THE 981ST “HELL ON PAWS” PATCH THIS YEAR. I ALSO AM MARCHING THIS YEAR TO REMEMBER SFC ED SPRAGUE, COMPANY FIRST SERGEANT OF THE 981ST MP COMPANY.
FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, ABLE TO ATTENDS, NOT ABLE TO ATTENDS, ETC. I WISH I COULD SAY THAT I HAVE A PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO STAY, BUT I DON’T....TRAVEL, LODGING, MEALS, WOULD BE ON YOUR OWN. NASCAR WILL ALSO BE IN TOWN THAT WEEKEND, SO MAKE RESERVATIONS EARLY.
