you have to explain that vid.  It is cool, but what's up with all the redcoats?  Just a unification type celebration?  Some background to the event would help put it in perspective.

yea, it must be some thing honoring both sides in the war, such as happens often with the civil war type events.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.  Those looked liked British uniforms.

Ok, just checked those guys always wear redcoats, I don't get that, maybe someone can explain that, HH6?...  I'm sure I'm going to get owned on this lol...  I don't get it?

It always brightens me up to see those events. 

As you can imagine, they dont have them often or at all in NYC.

I already had mine for lunch.  Much thanks to Applebees for doing this.  The one I went to was overwhelmed and the poor staff was having a hard time keeping up.  When they tried to apologize to me for the long wait, I just told them that any vets in the room know all about long lines and waiting. The guys around me just laughed.  Everybody was way cool.   And they didn't short change on the portions!

RIP to all Canadian soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Thank you.  I called my mom to thank her for the sacrifices that she endured while my dad was away at war or stationed out of the country.  Man, I sure do miss him.  I still wish that he would have given me his blessing to serve in the Corps like he did.  My dad was a man's man and my hero.   

Colossus, great video you posted, thank you.
Today is all about the Veterans.  :)   We wouldn't be who we are without you guys.
