We were in a suburb which had agreements with nearby suburbs to march in each other's parades so ours was a little bigger than yours but not so big we didn't have scouting families pulling the little ones in wagons or riding decorated bicycles.

Our parade was like yours, not very long but full of proud Americans. I really think we are losing this feeling of patriotism.
