The Troutman holiday parade was a festive and hot celebration. Post 65 behind the leadership of Benny Wilhelm and Commander Mike Morris get it done again. After the long parade, conducted in 90 degree heat, we all went to post 65 for hot dogs provided and cooked by Adjutant Mark Armstrong. The water melon was also a big hit. Joint photography provided by Amy Wilhelm Cook, Randy Hill and Andy Elsenboss. A Grand Marshal float was provided honoring our Vietnam Veterans.
