The Salute To Our Troops in Downtown Raleigh - The Photo Edition
April 28th, 2008 Categories: Downtown, Odds and Ends
The Salute To Our Troops parade and celebration in Downtown Raleigh on Saturday was awesome. It was a humbling moment standing there and watching this huge tribute to the brave men and women who are willing to voluntarily put themselves in harms way, if need be, and make the ultimate sacrifice so that you and I can be safe and free.
We have lots of military bases here in North Carolina. Even so, it’s easy to forget that these guys and gals, our neighbors, stand ready to serve whenever called upon.
I do not know what words I might write here that would be sufficient to express the gratitude that I feel towards our armed forces. So, I’ll try quoting something that was said a long time ago.
“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
Enjoy the photos… and yes, that is Senator Elizabeth Dole on the Harley.

Salute Our Troops Parade and Celebration in Downtown Raleigh

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.
