Photos from the Veterans Day Parade

by Jennifer Hoffman

November 10, 2007 marked the 44th annual Veterans Day Parade in Milwaukee. The weather was beautiful and the sky clear for this great event, and the parade was quite impressive. Here are some of the photo highlights:

Marines
This was a beautiful sight on that clear Milwaukee day.

WW2 Veteran
I had the privilege of standing near this World War II veteran.

Thank you.
Throughout the parade, many soldiers came up to him and shook his hand and thanked him for his service.

Motorcycles
Like all good Milwaukee parades, there were plenty of motorcycles in this one.

Air
There were a number of flyovers during the parade - very impressive.

Korean War Vets
Korean War Veterans have a special place in my heart.

Vehicle
Military vehicle buffs couldn’t be disappointed during this parade. There was a lot to see.

Vehicles

In all, its was an excellent parade.

As a final note about this Veterans Day, I really enjoyed reading this piece on a Columbus, Ohio blog and I want to pass it on to my Milwaukee readers.

Thank you, Veterans. Thank you to you on Veterans Day and every day.

About Milwaukee, WI

Forget what you learned from those Laverne & Shirley reruns. Long gone is the factory town that unleashed Harley Davidson and Pabst Blue Ribbon upon the world. In its place, you'll find one of the most exciting metropolises between the coasts. The motorcycles and beer are still around, but Milwaukee also has a cutting edge art scene, festivals for every occasion, a palette of architectural curiosities, a thriving night life, and some of the most driven and diverse people in the midwest. In Milwaukee, boredom isn't even an option.
