Parade Planning Committee Seeks Veterans
"Duty, honor, and love of
country span many generations of
Americans; causes and outcomes
may differ, but sacrifice and
hardship are shared equally. I
was touched, I was moved, and I
came away from the parade
feeling better about my
sacrifice that was so many years
removed from the present. Thanks
to you and … the Edina community
for making this July 4th the
best one that I've ever
experienced.”
That’s what one Vietnam veteran wrote to
the July 4 Parade Planning
Committee after participating in
the 2006 Independence Day
parade. As plans are finalized
for the 2008 parade, scheduled
for 10 a.m. July 4, the
Committee seeks more veterans to
be part of the special community
event.
“During the parade, we pay
special tribute to the heroic
efforts of our honored
veterans,” said Committee
Chairwomen Maria Fesenmaier, “It is important that
they be part of Edina’s July 4
celebration.”
U.S. veterans interested in
participating in the parade
should contact Maria Fesenmaier at 952-826-0380 ext. 252 or sending an e-mail to
edinamail@ci.edina.mn.us. |
