today it was veterans day, honoring.... the military veterans. the people in the parade were mostly extremely young, i doubt they were older than 20...
i would have thought it to be veteran's day... , but the official spelling of this day is the attributive case (veterans). however, the us government allows the possessive case as well (veteran's). after the parade, some got donuts from their chief, as you can see here... and that was for me the highlight of the entire parade (perhaps for those girls as well) :D
