Editor, the Advocate:

From an old Vietnam veteran to the good people of Victoria, THANK YOU for the love shown Saturday. It was a gigantic boost to an otherwise drab existence of a forgotten warrior. The parade was so well organized and run that it was on a very professional level. The timing and execution was flawless; then the meal was the topper of our day. You folks made a lot of old, worn-out veterans very happy. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you. We'll be back on the 10th of November.
