Eric had to leave so early to get to this parade, that Nathan and I didn't go. But I did find some coverage. If you go to this tv channel, http://www.wtoc.com/global/story.asp?s=9331001, and click on the little red video icon, you might see Eric playing the bass drum - as long as you don't blink. He's at 36 second mark. He's not on the screen for the entire second.
Eric said it was a pretty nice parade. Little long at 3 miles, but the weather was perfect for it. Said the CG (commanding general) and the CSM (command sgt. major) led off the parade, followed by the honor guard, the band, then soldiers from the 5 brigades. I asked if they had any tanks in the parade (after all this is a tank division). "No, those are all in Iraq." You mean they didn't leave any behind, just for parades and ceremonies? Even the older models? "Sugar, I don't think the city planners in Savannah really want a 72-ton track vehicle, rolling through their historic downtown." Well, that makes sense.
