This year’s Civic Veterans Parade was pretty well attended given that many members were in different parts of the parade, but there were some empty seats. Next year consider joining us. Tip of the day, “The trolly has AC!”
KAVV Brother Richard “Dick Oass passed away on July 1, 2023. You can find a link to his online obituary on our KAVV Memorial Page in the menu. Rest in Peace Brother
KAVV Honor Guard / American Legion Post 21 members Tim, Tom, Brad, and Paul recently helped a local citizen gain access to outdoors by building a ramp with material donated by Post 21. The completed ramp allows the senior citizen (who was an avid gardener) with senior citizen caretakers, to visit his garden regularly. This had been a major operation before the ramp was built.
Honorguard Captain Tim Green was doing a lot of work on the old 40et8 Parade locomotive and needed to take it for a test spin with passengers, so he asked the KAVV to volunteer as they were heading out to the Bristol Gun Club for a Flag Raising Ceremony. The old girl told us about some of her problems which Tim and his sons Tim & Chris, and Grandson CJ, made short work of. Thanks you brave souls for making the journey!
Sadly we didn’t have everyone, but the picture was too good not to post…

One of Sue Green’s contributions to the KAVV is the printing and packaging of the Honor Volley that we present to the family. ” 25 packets and 3 hours later…
