The parade is an annual event at the Veterans Home in Fergus Falls.
The grounds of the Veterans Home with the flags placed by the VFW. Some day perhaps it will be my home.
This one of three trailers holding flags dedicated to veterans that are placed around town on patriotic holidays such as Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
Each flag has a dedication sticker honoring a veteran and has its assigned position on streets and sidewalks used for the display of flags. This one honors Walter Bruns who served in the US Navy as a Hospital Corpsman.
Part of the parade route lined with flags and spectators.

We must have an antique tractor.
Horse drawn wagon.
Big boys with their toys.
Music provided by the Carlisle Band, in existence since 1894. If you know them, look for some of my favorite people who are members of the band.
