St Patrick’s Day Parade

Sun, 11 March 2012

11:30 AM

Washington DC Mall

VBOBers are Marching

Get your marching shoes shined!

We will gather again outside the old Smithsonian

Castle, on the Mall side.

Look for the VBOB Flag

And WWII Uniforms & vehicles

Please wear an overseas cap and your medals or ribbons

Vehicles will be available for the walking wounded, furnished by the Military Vehicle Collectors Society, however as many of you as can march are asked to show the younger generations how it is done!

                        Our National organization and all Chapters have been invited once again to march in our Nation’s St Patrick’s Parade, down Constitution Avenue from 7th to 17th Streets NW.

We especially would like to have marchers to show the crowd that you Bulge Veterans still have alot of kick.  The march is about one mile, nothing like those five mile or 20 mile marches that you had to pass.

It is a particular pleasure to march in this parade because we salute “Those Who Serve” as you once did. Each year that we have marched we have had continuous applause from  the crowd along the whole parade route, something no other unit has sustained. We have won 6 trophies.

So get those marching shoes shined and caps out and if you can still get into your uniform please wear it as it really is a crowd pleaser.    Mark your calendars for the 11th of March.  See you there! Call John Bowen 301-384-6533 or johndbowen@earthlink.net for further information.

We salute

THOSE WHO SERVE

Fire-Police-Active Military–National Guard-Postal

As You Once Did

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
