Veterans Day Parade Nov. 11th

[Dirty LJ]

We are signed up to be in this years Veterans Day Parade!

This year is the 90th Veterans Day Parade! They are having the WWII Veterans riding in Model T's, I told them that we would like to serve as a backup as she said that there are always more Veterans than seats in cars. So far I have reserved 20 vehicle spots so everybody needs to let me know if you can make it so I can give them a more solid number. Also If you are going to be in the parade and need stickers let me know asap so I can get them printed!

This is a celebration honoring out Veterans that have served for our country so lets break out the decorations for our vehicles! Flags, ribbons and such! Lets let them know we appreciate what they and there family's have given for this country.

So clean your Jeep and Break out your Red, White and Blues!

Awesome! I also just got lined up with a screen printer and hope to have our first run of t-shirts ready for the parade!

They are just going to be the logo on the front and there is no cure with the web address on the back. I will put up an updated graphic up as soon as I am finished with it.

I am going to sell the shirts for $10.00 each. And I am going to donate all of the profit from the sales before Nov. 11 to the American Legion Post 26 (thats who is putting on the parade).

Let me know if you are interested, for how many and what sizes, so I can know how many to have made. Also the screen printer I am using is a local school so we are helping out local school children by having them make up the shirts for us!!

[Professor JK]

need a large for misses and a fat boy 2XL

[casaintsfan]

I'll take 1 large shirt.





Thanks

[smack2020]

Scott and Norma are in, one jeep, one ex-large t-shirt, for me and a medium t-shirt for Norma. I plan on going topless, the jeep that is. I will probably have my grandson zayne and granddaughter Zoey also. So I wont have room for a Vet Rider, is that OK?

[Dirty LJ]

That shouldn't be a problem.

[smack2020]

Update. Norma is going to stand on the parade route and take pics.

I am going to have a vet and his granson in my jeep. I will also have my granddaughter.

The vet I am taking said his group of Vets are planning on riding in a van, which does not sound fun. I told him I would check to see if anyone in our group has room for more Vet riders. Please let me know if you have room.

GJ, great job for setting this up. your awesome.

[smack2020]

I bought a 16 foot telescopic flag pole and flag at Harbor Freight for $32.00. I am going to put the flag pole on the back of the jeep. I am still trying to find other stuff to decorate with.

[AJ99]

hey i have 2 maybe 3 seats in my XJ. I think since im not like you wrangler guys and have a solid hard top i will take off the doors on the jeep so then the vets can sit and wave instead of having to wave trough the small windows

[AJ99]

im going to be making a flag pole that will hook into my receiver hitch. And not sure what else to do yet...

[casaintsfan]

Not sure what I'm doing for decorations yet. Keep the ideas coming.
