There was a good turnout of submarine veterans, including the Silent Service Motorcycle Club, at the Kirkland 4th of July Parade on Sunday. Once again, Kirkland did a wonderful job of welcoming active duty military personnel and veterans. Before the parade the city provided snacks, pizza, and water for us and each veteran was given a carnation boutonniere.
The weather was cloudy and cool, but there was no rain and the temperature made it comfortable for marching along the parade route. Even with the cloudy weather, there was a good turnout of people lining the parade route and they gave us a warm welcome as we made our way through the city streets.
We were even able to do a little recruiting, finding several submarine veterans that didn't know about our organization. Overall it was a good day and a fun experience.
