Parades
as Recruiting Tools
As we have mentioned before, parades are great ways for Chapters to recruit. Here are a few Chapters that are learning that as
they participate in a variety of parades across the country..
If anyone has stories of how participating in parades has helped them recruit, please let us know.
195 – QUEEN CITY [CO]
Parades are beneficial. Participation in them not only
brings attention to the Korean War veterans, but to all
veterans. They also create interest and awareness in
the communities.
During the month of July 2008, members of Chapter
195 participated in the following parades:
n July 4 - Cheyenne Frontier Days, Cheyenne,
Wyoming
n July 24 - Greeley Stampede Days, Greeley,
Colorado
n July 26 - Golden Buffalo Bill Days, Golden,
Colorado
Our float and marching unit were enthusiastically
greeted with wild applause, salutes, and ‘Thank You”
in all three communities. Many stood and saluted as
we passed.
