2006 Memorial Day Parade - Washington DC
101st INFANTRY - SCREAMING EAGLES ! ! !
F-Body Hideout - Maryland/Virginia/DC Group
Thanks to Corey and Cyndi of the F-BodyHideout forum (Eastern Group) we represented all f-bodies at the 2006 Memorial Day Parade in Washington DC. We were obviously the luckiest group on wheels that day as we were paired with the 101st Infantry - Screaming Eagles. What an honor this was as well as a humbling experience for all of us car owners. These are the military men movies can only hope to capture the intelligence, perserverance and loyalty to our country on film. These are the men who are first on the ground in extreme situations -- these are Hamburger Hill, Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan and many, many more.
Our group had men from WWII, Korean War, Vietnam and even Iraq riding in our cars. We had men who were screaming at the top of their lungs "Airborne! Air Assault! God Bless America and we aren't afraid to say it!" throughout the entire parade. I have to admit, I think I had the rowdiest bunch in my car, but it was completely appropriate (for anyone who knows me, lol) and I will do my best to keep in touch with their local Chapter so that we can be blessed enough to have this experience again in the future. These are just a few photos provided by the local chapter Governer of the 101st Infantry -- he was a passenger in my car and even with three broken ribs (from a bicycle accident) he kept jumping out to take photos.
To all the service men and women (including those police officers who protect our homeland every day) out there -- God Bless You and many, many thanks. If you ever need someone to drive you around in a parade, my car is at your service!
