We were asked to take part in the NAMC's 5th annual parade. The coordinator for the parade this year was my buddy's girlfriend. She knew I belonged to the 501st and Rebel Legion, and asked if I could wrangle up some members to add a little Star wars to their parade. It was a hot one, and it seemed to take awhile to get moving, but once we were on the street, the people loved us. We were told by more then a few we were the best part of the parade. After the parade, those of us still upright from the heat, hung out at the end in some shade and took some photos with fans before we were shuttled back to our cars.
Many thanks to everyone who came out for this.

A man might befriend a wolf, even break a wolf, but no man could truly tame a wolf.

Didn't know if you caught this one, but we did get a $200 donation from the organizers of the parade.
