July 4, 2026 found Post 108 putting final touches on their parade float. Unfortunately, a storm fast approached, which led city officials to cancel 10 minutes before the parade was to start. But the Post was, at least, able to take the parade route back to our building to disassemble the float before the rain and wind arrived. Our presentation also included two jeeps, several other period vehicles, and Post 108 significant others dressed as “Rosie, the Riveter.” Member James Medlock and wife, Sue, had been named Grand Marshals.
