Veteran Parade, Quincy Illinois, 11/06/2021

Post by Tim Powell »

Hey Crew!
We didn't get to go to Quincy last year and you all know why. How very sad.
This year we had a great time and I must tell you the Quincy Community
welcomes our little group with open arms.
I'm going to attach the letter I sent out after the event. We are already planning for next year!
Trucker~Tim!

Thank You All.

I wanted to start this out with a great big “Thank You” to everyone. Those of you that made the trip, and those of you that could not. Each and every one of you is important to our mission.

This has been a tough 19 months and some of you have struggled more than your share, and for that we can only say, do not give up! This is a Family affair and we will survive this.

The parade was fantastic and I hope a few simple words can convey how proud I am of our group and of all of you. The Quincy Parade Committee outdid themselves again, as always. What a great event. We are truly privileged to be a part of this tribute to our Veterans.

I must also extend a special “thanks” to my Sister & Brother-in-law for their help. My Lori and I are forever in their debt.

It is truly an honor and a privilege to be a part of this parade and I already look forward to next year!
Ever forward, HooRah.

Hello Old Friend!
I have always felt being invited to attend the Quincy Illinois parade
is an honor! We all feel that way. Hope things continue to improve
in the coming year! Cheers from Southeast Iowa.
