To make matters worst, it's a half day for school kids. I am sending a note to school that I am picking my boy up early so we can head down for the parade! Do the same, pick up your kids if you can and get down and salute the men and women who have defended this country!!! See You There!!

Our Vets sacrificed alot for us and I am very thankful for all they've done. If they wonder why the turn out for these events are so low, they might re-think the time they have the parade. Even though the unemployment rate is over 10% the rest of us still work. How about an evening parade? Oh wait! I forgot about Warren not having enough police to patrol the streets. Safety is an issue. Cant afford the lights either. Explains why so many street lights are out.
