Today Tucson did something very commendable. And it was not the city government that did it - it was the people of Tucson. They came together to throw a welcome home parade for the men and women who served their nation in war over the last dozen years in Afghanistan and Iraq, but also in prior conflicts.
Rachel Maddow gave the all-volunteer effort a shout-out as one of the best new things in the world - I heartily agree.
See footage of the parade taken by yours truly after the flip...
Good video Mike, and good to see you there amongst the thousands of people! Posted the link to your video under our Veterans Veritas blog in Tucsoncitizen.com:http://tucsoncitizen.com/veteranveritas/2012/03/28/parade-to-welcome-home-iraq-veterans/

Did I miss something, or did the Star "cover" the parade by putting a photo on the front page, and not a mention anywhere else? Isn't this second-in-the-nation parade something the city paper should crow about, or is the Star only about bad Tucson news?
Great coverage Mike.
