The morning had been iffy. It had rained - no poured. But as folks began setting up, the drizzle stopped and the sun began trying to break through.
The Hillary tent was where the action was. Everyone wanted to pose with the cutout of Hillary. One little girl about three-years-old called to the Hillary figure as she walked past. "Hillary!" There were homemade signs, lots of Hillary gear, and kids- lots of kids and lots of dogs!
Then came the parade!
The Revolutionary War contingent shot off their muskets every 1000 yards or so - deafening. The kids loved it!
As the parade ended everyone drifted to the ceremonies at the monument on the green.
The sun came out. The roads dried up. Hillary was happy to see us. She said "Thank you, so much," and put two thumbs up.

Addendum:
It seems there are questions about the Navy officer next to Hillary. He is Oscar Flores, U.S. Navy Ret., who worked in the White House during the first Clinton administration and is employed by them now in his retirement. If you have read any of the many emails Hillary released, you will see his name on some of them. The Clinton family attended his retirement celebration some years ago. He is a trusted friend and member of the household and deserving of our thanks and respect for his service. So, please no more malarkey. He has been there all along. He is an officer and a gentleman. Please be respectful and thank him for his service!
