We Love a Parade

There's one thing this town does well, and that's parades!

The best? Veterans Day Parade!
Ft. Riley is home to the Big Red One, 1st Infantry Division,
and our soldiers are our pride:

Blocks and blocks of soldiers in formation,
and then our elementary and middle schools are represented.
Parents in the military are invited to join their kids in the parade:

Occasionally you will see a student carrying his parent's military picture.
This means that his parent, sometimes both parents, are currently deployed.

"Seventy-six trombones caught the morning sun.."

"...there were horns of every shape and kind..."


We even have boy scouts and llamas...

...and cyclists...
