Fayetteville Veterans Day Parade

Fayetteville Veterans Day Parade: Crowds turn out to say 'thank you'

http://fayobserver.com/articles/2012...2?sac=fo.local

"The mix of soldiers, marching bands and floats that rolled through downtown Fayetteville on Saturday morning were a first-time sight for 66-year-old Jan Gojko.

"I've never seen a Veterans Day parade in my life," Gojko said.

He served in Vietnam, leaving the Army in 1969.

"I try not to focus on that," Gojko said, referring to his own service. "I focus on the folks who are serving now."..................................."

There are many nice things about Fayetteville - this is one of them.

It was dropped for a few years and took some beating with a big stick to get it back.
