We're having our big celebration and parade on Saturday. We honor our Vietnam veterans. We have well over 200 entries for parade floats in Pierre. The new statues are perfect and the concert will be loud and patriotic. God Bless South Dakota and her veterans.

We had a World War Two memorial put up a few years ago and that was great. We had the highest number of volunteers and draftees based on population in the entire union for WW2.

Also, if anyone listens to Big & Rich knows about the "8th of November". A true South Dakota story.

Nice! Wish I could be there. I dig more into the photos when I'm home. (I'm at work doing some paperwork right now)

God bless South Dakota for honoring those heroes who came back to face the contempt and hatred of the treasonous leftist scumbags.

"Dear Friends:

They left and came home one by one. These 28,000 native South Dakotans dutifully answered the call to service in Vietnam from 1961 to 1975, serving with dedication, honor and valor. In Vietnam, 207 South Dakotans died. Unlike many American veterans, Vietnam veterans had no parades, no handshakes and no "welcome home". Such celebrations were replaced by anti-war protests at airports, on street corners and on college campuses across America and in many gateway cities in route to South Dakota.

On September 15-16, 2006, the citizens of South Dakota will honor the bravery and sacrifice of our state’s Vietnam War veterans with the dedication of a 7-foot-tall bronze statue of a combat-weary Vietnam War soldier at the existing War Memorial site at Capitol Lake near the State Capitol. The dedication festivities will include a parade, traveling Vietnam Wall, Huey helicopter displays, fireworks, concerts, and much more.

Please join thousands of South Dakotans and me in Pierre, South Dakota, on September 15-16, 2006, to honor the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines for their service and patriotism to South Dakota and to the United States of America.

Sincerely,

Mike RoundsPlus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. The (probably illegitimate) children of the traitors are marching in the streets undermining our forces in the ME.
