1047. i love a parade

not even dark skies
can dampen our great freedoms
i love a parade 🦊❤️

Yesterday was the 4th of July parade in Oreland Pa.  Every year I see the parade get bigger.  More firetrucks, more kids on decorated bikes, more candy being tossed to the kids, more bagpipe groups,  more spectators lining the street and of course the veteran’s group marching and receiving the loudest applause.  The feeling of excitement that I feel when I see the lead police car turn onto the route grows yearly. I always have a feeling of pride when I experience this parade and I feel a lump form in my throat. I love this parade. 🦊❤️
