Hams Assist with the Veteran's Day Parade At Chennault Avation Museum (Monroe, Louisiana)

Hams from around Northeast Louisiana converged at Chennault military and Aviation Museum on Friday November 9, 2012 to assist with the Veteran's Day Parade in observance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.  

This parade was held Friday because the Vietnam Memorial (traveling) Wall was in town and set up on location at the museum.

Many people attended the opening ceremony following the parade.

Some of the area hams helping out were:  W5DSG, KB5YEG, KA5JNL, KF5HLX, AB5YS, N5ARM, KD5ITA, W5KGT,  and, myself, KE5UTN.

The first set of pictures below are of the hams in the process of helping out.

Below them, the second set are all the stills taken, including those of the hams.
