		Unlike last year’s parade, which was one of the shortest in recent memory due to a lack of marching bands and floats, this year’s hour-long July 4th parade was reminiscent of the Ancients and Horribles parades of old with plenty of floats, bands and razor-sharp satire.
		The parade is known for its irreverence, sense of humor and outrageous lampooning of current events and politicians, and there was plenty of that at Tuesday’s parade which, after two years with an earlier start, kicked off at the traditional starting time of 4 p.m.
		Parade Grand Marshal Ethel Corbin, a Glocester resident with longstanding ties to the Ancients and Horribles, waved to the crowds as she passed by in a convertible, followed by Town Council President Charles Poirier and local state Reps.Edwin R. Pacheco and Nicholas Gorham.

		As I said earlier, I feel the parade was organized in bad faith; it’s not about honoring veterans, as it claims to be.
		The reasonable thing for the parade’s organizers to do - if they really couldn’t abide a veteran’s parade which included a diversity of opinion - would have been to turn down the marchers when they applied to be in the parade.
		Veterans are not being honored for their support of George Bush; they are being honored for their courage, and for the sacrifices they made for the sake of the nation.
