It was a great turnout on one of the best days weather-wise.

We were complimented by the LAOH, 5 members of other AOH divisions and family members.

Most of us met after the parade for beer, soda and franks at the American legion post in Wantagh.

Thanks to all who were there to make it a big success. Have a happy summer. Thanks to Matt for the pictures. (Sorry if you were missed.)

All the best! John King
