It wouldn't feel like Memorial Day without a parade, and we were lucky enough to have a reason to attend the Newtown, PA Memorial Day Parade. Josh just moved up this spring to Troop 380 based out of the Presbyterian Church in Newtown. His Uncle Mike is the dedicated Scoutmaster, and the troop was marching in the parade. Grammy and Pappy came up to watch with us. I have always wondered what would happen if there was actually a fire during a parade, when all of the firetrucks are winding their way through town on a parade route. Today I found out. The whistle blew, and the firemen, in their wool suits and white gloves, came sprinting back to the trucks, threw the boots/pants out into the street, and were dressed and ready to go within what seemed like less than a minute. Unbelievable. The quick-thinking groups in front of the trucks cleared out, and the trucks were on their way. So those guys are so well trained they really are ready to go on a moment's notice.
