I'm going to march in the largest Veterans Day parade

west of the Mississippi. I've been invited by the Democrats (as their State Rep candidate from a year ago) and by Veterans for Peace.
The parade is just starting now. What's your vote?

I used to love to go to the Chinatown New years Parade in San Francisco. All those pretty ladies waving at the crowd... I don't know if I would want to do that, (hand and arm will certainly build up some muscle after that exercise!) but it seemed pretty cool.
