Members of VVA Chapter 1069 attended and participated in the parade.
A big thanks to all chapter members and spouses that participated
in the parade and represented our chapter! A special thanks to chapter member, Augie Limas, for getting
a parade float permit for our chapter and organizing our chapter's participation in the parade. See
Augie in the picture below, far left.
Above and below photos show the members of VVA chapter 1069 that participated in this year's parade.
There were several floats in the parade that our members rode on.
A Vietnam War era, Military Jeep and trailer was provided by Joe Freeman of El Campo, he himself a
Vietnam Veteran and chapter supporter, who let our chapter use the military vehicle for the parade.
VVA Chapter 1069 wants to thank Joe for letting our chapter members use his jeep & trailer and
let the members decorate the floats at his business location in El Campo.
We also want to thank chapter member John Collins for allowing the use of his 16ft low-boy trailer
loaded up with hay bails. John pulled the trailer with his pickup.
We also want to thank Augie Limas and Harold Pickert for representing our chapter by riding their
red flag-draped motorcycles in the parade.
