[NR] Reenactors Sought For Armed Forces Day Parade in McAlester OK

[John Yates]

Yes, your Excellency. I havd such a poor attendance record over the past several years, I didn't actually feel great about even bringing it up. The McAlester parade is a bigger deal than many as far as Armed Forces Day events go. IIRC, it is one of a select number recognized by the DoD.

Ok...this sounds too cool. Unfortunately it's the same weekend as Beltane.
