Marvelous, fabulous, and simply wonderous. Your talent is divine and we are all a little better off because you share it with us. Thank you for the sleepless nights and tireful days you experience in order to produce this so quickly. Thanks to the Metuchen Chamber and the parade committee for presenting the annual event and using you to show us all the different perspectives. Most of all though, thank you to all of the men and women who serve and especially to those who paid the ultimate sacrfice for this nation, our freedoms and our liberty. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I have never once attended a parade as a spectator; I have always been a participant. It gives me tremendous pride to acknowledge, thank and support our past and current troops. We are grateful we live in a small community where our children are continuosly involved and grateful to those who protect our country. Superb work and thankyou for sharing the parade with those of us who do not get to view it. We continue to pray for the safe return of all our troops and extend our heartfelt thanks to the soldiers and their families for keeping our families safe. Julie:

And the moments afterward at the American Legion - sponsored bar-b-q. Terrific! The voluteers who were pictured in the parade, and those who make it happen are what Metuchen is all about! Thanks to all of you! As a resident who has viewed the parade for many years, I am amazed that you were able to get shots from so many locations - New Street, downtown reviewing stand, from train platform, Freedom Plaza, along High street and Lake avenue, Tommy’s Pond, and of course Memorial Park.
