god bless to the airborne forces but a special mention to 15th para i was there for approx 9 yrs sadly to say i never jumpt but i will say thay are the best of the best and i have never come across more dedicated people god bless wee alex ferguson who was a true soldier he was ex seaforth highlanders,and to all ex 15 para past and present god bless you all (stephen mcdowall ex support coy and qm staff
These folks deserve every bit of attention and gratitude they can get.
I have an uncle, still going strong at eighty nine, who piloted a B-24 Liberator on many missions over Germany. Another, gone now, was an 82nd Airborne captain who went into France on 5 June `44. My late dad was a USMC major in the Pacific.
WWII veterans are dying at a rate of a couple of thousand a day. They should be honored while still around to appreciate it.

Thanks for not cutting out the False-Start. It helps the mood. Looks like a great parade.

I just love a parade. This one seems a bit long for the older Veterans but they managed OK. Well done the Airborne.

My dad used to be in the Airborne. Nice to see the Veterans marching. Would be nice to see more vids like this.
