Start of the Annual Veteran's Day Parade in downtown Johnstown.
--------------------------
Harry Plows - Perament Parade Marshall
Whenever I see Harry - my mind goes back to my bartending days at the Catholic War Vets - Post 954 in Cambria City and some of his pals - like Ed and Kitty Hanzel, Bill Young, John Caper and Bill Babik. Being the bartender - I enjoyed listening to their stories about the war and even the old days. Nobody in my family really talked about the war - so listening to them was my link to the past.

The Fire Department starts and closes the celebration.
