Silent Parade 2022 through Downers Grove in the rain.

If the firemen were going to stand in the cold rain, then so was I!

The Silent Parade is a simple parade of fire equipment through several towns, including mine, to honor first responders who have died in the line of duty. The silence and simplicity of it make it very special.

@@RideswithChuck so, thx for their service from me.

I guess the drenching rain was oddly appropriate.

The silence of this parade is what makes it special. The rain did add some atmosphere.
