Memorial Day Parade

Print This Post Print This Post

One of the well established practices of small Midwestern towns is the Day Parade.
My hometown of Tipp City, is no exception. With a population of only 10,000 the Hgh School band, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Brownies accompany 75 children on Red White and Blue bikes as we make our way first to the and then the cemetery to honor our family members who have served in the armed forces.

Connor was able to finally ride a bike (versus being pulled along in a wagon) in the parade. We were so proud of him. Here is a picture of us with his decorated bike.
Have a blessed day!

    Hello Mike,

    It looks like you and Connor had a great time at the Memorial Day Parade. I'm glad that you had an opportunity to share it with your son.

    I feel sorry for those dad's who don't take the time to celebrate important events like a Memorial Day Parade with their children. Building memories and sharing values has to be lived. You taught your son a valuable lesson just by giving him your time.

    Thanks for sharing, :)

    Larry,

    We sure did have a great time. When I remember “back in the day” it is to those parades my Dad took me to and put me up on his shoulders. Awesome memories for sure.

    Have a great day!
