The Veteran Military Employee Resource Group (VMERG) participated in the Jaycees Cary Christmas Parade on December 12. A group of 15 volunteers helped decorate a float adorned with an American Eagle RJ and an American Airlines jetliner that were surrounded by wrapped presents. Attached to the float were signs reminding those along the parade route that during this joyous season to take time to remember those fighting for our freedom.
Our volunteers, some dressed in holiday costumes, walked along side the float passing out lollipops with cards reminding folks of our message and our blog. Despite the cold temperature, all enjoyed the event and we were especially proud to hear the crowds cheering, "We love American Airlines!". We challenged attendees on each side of the street to see which side could cheer the loudest in support of the troops. We look forward to next year's parade and your continued support for VMERG.
