We issued a Stand Down order on this mission due to severe thunderstorms hours before and at staging time.  The parade officials made the call to proceed a little after 09:00, and we had a handful of riders show up to assist the veterans.  After the parade had started, and at the direction of one of the parade coordinators, we assisted our veterans to the parade floats, then hopped on the bikes there (all seven of them!) to lead their floats in the parade.  At the conclusion of the parade we assisted our veterans off the floats and onto the buses for the ride back to the staging area.  We followed the buses back and again assisted the veterans off the buses and to their vehicles.  We then gathered at Fuzzy's Tacos for lunch!
