It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Derry Show is on the air. With today being Veterans Day, the city of Houston will host a Veterans Day parade called Houston Salutes American Heroes Parade,

which will begin at 1130 a.m. today in downtown Houston.

Of course, right?

Well, I'll remind you that during the Sylvester Turner administration, it was not uncommon to simply refuse to host a parade for our veterans.

We found out, and within 48 hours had at the RCC a Veterans Parade.

It wasn't the biggest.

It wasn't the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in New York.

But in less than 48 hours, we pulled together a parade in front of the RCC.

Lauren Cole, who was running the RCC for us,

absolutely without sleep put together.

I bet you we had, I don't want to exaggerate.

How many vehicles vehicles floats are the like in there six million Ramon i don't want to exaggerate i don't know it was a lot and in order for full effect

we made it about three blocks long and we looped them about three times.

It was the kind of thing you'd make fun of in a small town, where they really don't have enough

going on in a small town to host a parade.

Or, I remember when my kids were in elementary school that have a parade, the Transportation

Day parade, and that have the local police department, and the fire department bring out

a fire truck, and a police department bringing out a SWAT truck, and maybe a garbage truck,

and a public works truck, and some other guy would have a 18 wheeler or whatever.

They'd make the loop in front of the school.
