No marching unit later, cody, which i know many of you been t the armed forces day parade in years past, and what mickey is saying is there will be in the high school bands we typically see that brother parade, but you are pretty much everything else we do to you and you know we recognize one branch of the service of the year we figured feature one branch right this year was to be named in your but because it is a unique here.

What were doing is were recognizing all branches of the military.

Plus our first responders are far are foolish or are you mad all of the peopl it really put their lives on the line every every day exactly in it's an opportunity because it's unique.

It's different and next year will be david here and wil begin work on 2021 as we sit here this is a and despite the lack of marching bands.

Everything else is going to be there first responder vehicles will see the army, navy, air force, marine coast guard all properly represented.
