Veterans Lead Independence Day Parade in Edmonds on Glorious 4th
Posted by glennled on July 4, 2012
Glenn Ledbetter, Vietnam War Vet, Edmonds Independence Day Parade, 2012. The bugle was a gift from a retired Air Force pilot who purchased it in England.
I’m sure some people in this great nation had as much fun as I did on this Independence Day 2012, but did they get to march in the parade in a small, All-American city as I did in Edmonds, Washington today? More didn’t than did. The thousands of people lining the streets stood, clapped, cheered, and waved minature American flags. My wife took this picture of the Post Bugler, VFW Post 1040, Lynnwood—me—on a perfectly gorgeous day on a glorious 4th. “God Bless America!”
Glenn's Trumpet Notes

It was a great parade and small-town experience, though I would have liked some military marching bands. Still, the local high school kids did great!

Yes, I wonder where the military bands were…somewhere in Everett and Seattle, I suppose. I love the marches they play. They add so much to a parade!
