Our Float won second place in the floats division of the parade. Washington crossing the Deleware edged us out by one stroke of a paddle. Hope to get pictures ready soon.

John,

I was going to send a seprate message but I will take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of the Board of Directors, officers, and members of MOAA Marin County Chapter for your loyalty to our MOAA chapter and to national, demonstrated by your plan to have a float for the 4th of July parade and for carrying out your plan.

It is gratifying to learn that we took one of the top awards for our entry in the parade.

I was proud to be one of the many who wore their uniforms and rode on the float. We all appreciate your good effort and good result. The MOAA float was appreciated, not only by the judges; along the way, it is my estimate, that at least 50% of the side-liners either waved, applauded or stood up and saluted.

I know that we did the right thing representing MOAA to honor our partners on active duty and those who fought for our independence many years ago.

Thanks again.

Mark
