Millford Memorial Day Parade

Paul Hittie · May 21, 2014, 05:52:11 PM

I found a request on jeepforum.com looking for Jeeps to transport veterans for the length of the parade. I have a message sent to the post commander, told him I had Jeep friends, I'll let you know what I find out.

Paul, I'm all in.... keep me in the Loop.

Yellow TJ · May 21, 2014, 08:49:15 PM

We would be in also.

I would be absolutely honored to do this. Just tell me when and where.

Do we just show up?

bullhed78 · May 23, 2014, 02:43:50 PM

I just registered. A little ways down the page on the link from Paul is a spot to click and register.

Yellow TJ · May 23, 2014, 03:36:49 PM

Suzanne talked to somebody at the legion and she said they need all the jeeps we can bring. Like Scott said click on link and register.

RoadBldr · May 23, 2014, 05:32:57 PM

I just registered also.

Does anyone know when we are supposed to be at the post? Are we supposed to be there by the 7:00am rifle volley or just by 9:00 registration? Also, is this limited to just club members? I know several people with jeeps that may be willing to do this but are not members of the club. I don't want to ask them then find out I shouldn't have.

Yellow TJ · May 24, 2014, 06:54:27 AM

Suzanne was told show up at 9:30. They also said they need jeeps, I'd hate to see a veteran sit out their own parade!

bullhed78 · May 24, 2014, 09:20:52 AM

I've got at least 1 more jeep to commit and 5 more I haven't heard back from.

LPM606 · May 24, 2014, 11:50:48 AM

looks like Gabrielle and I will be there! See you all at 9:30!

bullhed78 · May 24, 2014, 02:03:07 PM

I just got 2 more to commit so it will be me plus 3.
