American Heritage Girls & Veteran’s Day Parade
Kirsten and the girls of her American Heritage Girls troop participated in the West Richland Veteran’s Day Parade. This year they rode a float instead of walking. I think the young girls enjoyed the ride much more than the walking.
It was interesting to see all the different folks in the parade. There were a few politicians, some businesses, all kinds of scout and cadet types. The funniest of the bunch was when the various police departments brought up the end of the parade sounding their sirens various tones and pitches. What was funny was that the vehicle right in front of them was a pickup with 3 young Hispanic girls in it. It looked like a slow speed chase. I actually felt sorry for that vehicle - traveling for an hour with the police ‘chasing’ them.
Something I’ve always wondered is why they are called “American Heritage Girls”. It sounds like some sort of “Junior GOP” group or something. :-)
