To the editor:

We have to thank the volunteers who organized the parade, then a big thank you to our veterans and the Boy Scouts who march in that scorching heat;t hen thank you to all the volunteers who decorated our beautiful floats and for the ones that were on the floats.

A big thank you to Jim Ryan from Mango Tango Tropical for let us borrowing the beautiful plants for our float, and to Tim Young for letting us use his float once again and driving us through the parade.

Now we have to thank the cooks, the servers and cashier for their great job from noon to 6 p.m.. Of course, we have to thank our great bartenders who did a terrific job, and finally a big thank you to the crew that took care of the fireworks – it was beautiful!!!

Also, thank you to the ladies who helped me decorate the post inside and out, and also helped me to take all the decorations down.

For God and country …
