Memorial Day Parade

We decided to take advantage of living in the Nation's Capital yesterday, and biked over to Constitution Ave. to watch a bit of the National Memorial Day Parade.  We were surprised to find out that the parade has only been going on since 2005.  Apparently, it was started because Memorial Day parades were slowly fading away across America.  Here are some photos we took while watching yesterday...

We also caught a ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial honoring women in the Military.

I suddenly feel the urge to break into a powerful rendition of God Bless America...thank goodness (for you) this isn't a live feed.
