basically said, you guys, we are almost home, we all want to go, wait for us. so there's no specific new date set yet for the twin cities parade for the end of the iraq war, but we are told they are aiming for late july. we will let you know when we know more. also, richmond, virginia, richmond, virginia's end to the iraq war parade is set for may 19. there has been some worry richmond wouldn't be able to pull it off. they needed to raise money to cover the costs, particularly the police costs, of the event. organizers had set the rather intimidating goal of raising $50,000 for the richmond, virginia, parade by today. today was their deadline. and they hit it. so the parade is on. again, may 19th, itch richmond, virginia. they need to raise some money for costs of the event, but at least they now they can cover police reports for the parade. so it is on the calendar in pen. the first of the parades was in st. louis. then there was a big one in tucson. there was another big one in houston. last weekend this was the scene at melbourne, florida.
