EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018: Veterans Parade

By Fred Harl

Several hundred veterans participated in this year's annual EAA AirVenture veteran parade on Friday afternoon prior to the airshow. Veterans from conflicts ranging from World War II to the present, including all who served stateside and in Cold War stations, were walking or riding in golf carts and various military vehicles to the delight of the crowd. Strangers became friends the moment they met in the parade and on the crowd line, with a continuous round of applause ringing throughout the parade route. The Aero Experience appreciates our veterans, and we present this look at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018 veterans parade with gratitude and thankfulness to those whose served and their families.
