Thank you for having this up. I grew up in Belton and used to play in 4th of July Parade for the Marching Hundred for four years. I'm currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan and to tell you the truth this video got me choked up. I grew up going to the Belton Parade, year in and year out. Thanks for bringing me home. God Bless.

You are very welcome and thank you for your service.

FYI: got a bit of rain this week and Nolan Creek flooded onto Central and damaged a number of buildings and residential homes.

Thanks for having this on here. I am from Belton but have been living in Evesham Worcestershire UK for the last 9 years and miss this.. BTW.. what street is this shot on? I can't seem to remember this street? Is it 6th? or Main? Was sad too not seeing Dr. Long doing the wagons.. he will be missed.

@oreochic77 I shot the video on Main Street; they staged everyone on the UMHB campus and this was at the very beginning of the parade route so what you see is a view from the front entrance of UMHB and the houses across the street.
