Memorial Day Parade
Sunday, 24 May 2009 - Norwich, VT — The rain was steadily falling as the parade assembled outside the American Legion post on Beaver Meadow Road. The word was we were marching despite the rain unless there was lightening but not a disgruntled word was heard. The Lebanon Squadron color guard lead by c/1Lt Sorenson took position behind the disabled veterans vehicle and splashed off toward the green at noon.

By the first stop at the bridge over Blood Brook, the rain had begun to ease and the spectators emerged from their hiding places. By the end of the parade the sky was divided sharply with the rain clouds to the south and clear blue sky to the north. With their official duties complete, the color guard joined the crowd on the green for a well earned hot dog.
Thanks to all who participated in this parade as well as those who posted the colors at the Hanover high school on Friday and marched in the Lebanon parade on Monday. If you missed us, we'll be in the Woodstock alumni day parade on Saturday, 13 June.
Squadron Sees Saturn V Launch
Saturday, 25 April 2009 - MD — In the dark hours on the morning of 22 April, long before most of the vacationing youth in the Upper Valley had arisen, a full van of cadets and seniors from the squadron set out on the long drive to Maryland. They were off to see a historic rocket launch, the Red Glare 1:10 scale Saturn V. Before the Saturday launch, they had the chance to visit the Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles International Airport and the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. They also had plenty of exercise in their full day on the National Mall viewing the many memorial sites and museums.

Current members and cadets' families are encouraged to join as we'll use this group to facilitate tracking RSVPs for events as well as a way to share photos and discussions.
