I’m headed to downtown Raleigh to enjoy the Salute The Troops parade and celebration this morning. There will be a military flyover at 10:00am followed by a parade that starts at Fayetteville Street and continues down Salisbury Street past the Capital building. After the parade there will be lots of military equipment and the like on display. There will even be several NASCAR teams there, displaying some race cars I presume?
This is a really cool event. In addition to all the fun and sights for civilians like me, There is a whole bunch of special stuff for active military and their families. Just for our military families, there are dozens of games and activities, a nice catered lunch, free access to Marbles Kids Museum, and free access to the opening night Carolina RailHawks (professional soccer) game.
I hope to see you there as we take a few moments to celebrate all that our military service men and women do to keep us free and safe. I’ll take my camera and post some photos later on.
Thanks for the info. I am pouring over pictures posted today for just a glimpse of my USMC son in Logistics group,he was there!
@ PMM to LCpl - I’ll have photos posted, hopefully by tomorrow. I took way too many and now have to find time to sort through all of them
Check back on Tuesday and they should be up.
By the way, thanks to your son for his service to our country!
