IL - Glendale Heights Illuminated Parade 11/28/2009

Post by InvaderSith »

It was a dark and cold night. Many troops from the Midwest Garrison were assembled for a unique mission, one they had never done before.

One thought was at the forefront of all their minds:

"Cookies."

Fresh cookies, to be precise.

There was also a parade celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of Glendale Heights, but the cookies were obviously more important.

After consuming a significant percentage if the more than 120 cookies, the troops suited up and made for the parking lot by Camera Park. There they waited until it was finally time to move out.

Led by Lord Vader and two Royal Guards, the troops escorted a single Jedi padawan and a Rebel pilot along the parade route. Escape for the two insurgents was impossible, of course. To aid in keeping track of the prisoners, several of our troops were wearing additional illumination to counteract the dark environment.

The parade route was short, but visibility and the oddly inconsistent speed of the procession made the route tricky. It took all of the troopers' courage and skill to make it to the end successfully.

The following troops have been added to the Rolls of Honor for the Gledale Heights 50th Anniversary Illuminated Parade:

SL1719 Jason Patterson - Darth Vader (with Carolyn as Jedi and Alyssa as TIE Pilot)
TB101 Aimee Jorgenson - Biker Scout
TK4544 Ed Silva - Stormtrooper
TI7118 Vicki Silva - TIE Pilot
TR118 Tom Schaefer - Royal Guard
CC3166 Joe Rivera - Clone Captain Rex
TI4982 Kyle Dorethy - TIE Pilot
TK3446 Neil Auer - Stormtrooper (with Gehrig Auer as Jawa)
TI943 Ted O'Sullivan - TIE Pilot
Paul - Royal Guard
TK8114 James Norman - Rebel Pilot
TI7696 James Noland - TIE Pilot
ID3052 Steve Szyndrowski - Imperial Officer
TK8968 Brian Troyan - Stormtrooper
TI9131 Jeff Baron - TIE Pilot

If any trooper was present and not included on the

Roll of Honor, please notify the Event Coordinator immediately!
