A Small Town 4th.

This is what I did for the 4th. of July (I'm on the left.)

This morning our Flotilla participated in the annual 4th of July parade in Gleneden Beach, Oregon. Its a pretty small place, sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Range -- pure Americana. It was the first time I've marched in a parade since 1967! I was amazed at the good will the Coast Guard has.
Later, it was off to our Vice Commander's house for a BBQ and friendship.
