Hi Jack
Know what you mean!
One of my first parades was 18 sept 1999 in Eindhoven.
Nice, driving the WC 52, brother and a mate on the hood,good weather, lots of people - enjoyable. :?
Then we entered the Townhall square and there were veterans applauding us!! :shock: . What did we do to deserve that!
It brought tears to my eyes!
Our friend isn't really into WW2 and he said he was emotional seeing that, we should applaude them!! :oops:
The years after that we also attanded with 1 difference; my brother drives the Dodge and I ride my BSA folding bike from the Belgian border to Eindhoven, still get applauded because with all those vehicles the odd 1 or 2 bicycle drivers get noticed. :roll:
