I was at the Memorial Day parade this weekend and enjoyed it very much. The essence of the parade is to remember and acknowledge the effort and sacrifices of those who came before us. It is also a chance to celebrate the present and the future. There are a lot of people in Franklin who volunteer and support all sorts of causes. They range from the Food Bank, Animal Shelter, school projects , to emergency services and the list goes on and on. One fireman said, coming to the parade is a way to thank people for their support. It is a rare occasion that you get to see all these people in the same place. Monday at the parade I saw a lot of these people and realized how many great, hard working people I know.
I hesitate to say what I am about to say because the parade is already a decent size. If everyone takes my advice the parade would be five miles long.
