2013 Auburn Veterans Day Parade Photos

We had a nice turnout for the parade with members from Seattle, Bremerton, and South Sound Bases showing up. It was a cloudy and cold day for the parade, but the crowd was bundled up well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Here are some photos from the event.
