A good day all around. Both troops went well. And there was a Vader at both!!!!! YAY for BAG!!! Maybe next year they won't be on the same day again. _________________ Karen~~Lady K SL-8597 Bast Alpha's #1 BABE

Crossing fingers, but I know the parade is set for the first Sunday of December (and I think the Toy Drive is the same, yes?) We'll just have to recruit a lot more members and get them involved :) _________________ It matters not how strait the gate Or what punishments bar the scroll.

I think we really made an impact at the parade.. I wish I could have stayed longer to talk a bit more though! Kinda funny me and a few of the guys where walking to the line up and someone yelled look a POWER RANGER!!!

I'm not 100% certain, but we may have been the first "outside" unit to walk it. As for being called a Power Ranger, get used to it :) My motto for my TI is "If I had a dollar for every time I was called Darth Vader, I could build a Vader." :) _________________ It matters not how strait the gate Or what punishments bar the scroll.

The weather was perfect. The crowd was very nice. And we looked very good walking in formation for the parade. Special thanks to Theresa and Ken for the use of the van and Theresa driving it., which was a big hit too. Theresa said it was referred to as the cute Star Wars car. _________________ Gary "Vader1" Breaux SL-1190 Garrison Commanding Officer 501st Legion Founder's Code 1 - Have Fun 2 - Make Friends 3 - Help Others 4 - Be Excellent 5 - Be Professional

I'll track down the pictures and add them. Also, the parade was filmed, and they'll give me a copy; I'll have archival copies available for any who would like one. _________________ It matters not how strait the gate Or what punishments bar the scroll.

If we know of other groups who might like to walk (Louisiana Costume Club, maybe?) let me know and I'll pass that info along. Even better: if we troop next year, the Norco Christmas Parade will make a charitable donation in our name to the foundation of our choice :) _________________ It matters not how strait the gate Or what punishments bar the scroll.

It's great to know that our participation could help someone, and not just our egos! _________________ Ken ID8848, ISB TB8848 Colonel Yularen, serving Emperor Palpatine without question!
