Smedleys & Samanthas
Please join us for the Boston Pride Parade.
This is the biggest parade in Boston, let's have a great showing.
If you are free please come and join us. Several of our members (Smedleys) are
also part of the LGBT community. Please come and stand with your gay, lesbian
and transgendered VFP members.
We should be proud that VFP is an open and welcoming veterans organization.
Hopefully we will have a great showing to show everyone we support our LGBT
members and friends.
The LGBT community supported our Saint Pats Peace Parade in a big way.
Let’s show them our support for the LGBT community.
Stonewall Warriors will be marching with us. This is a group of LGBT veterans.
For the first time the VA is actively encouraging veterans and staff from the
VA hospitals to walk in the Pride Parade. We have met with the person from the
VA who is coordinating the VA participation. We have both asked the parade
organizers to place us adjacent to each other.
This is the last "BIG" thing we will do for a while, please join us.
Assemble location: We will assemble on the corner of Boylston and Exeter
streets. That is one block away from the Copley T Station.
Time: We will gather between 10:30 and 11:00 am, look for the flags
Parade steps off at 12:00 noon, rain or shine - let’s hope for good weather
Rides: If you are unable to walk the distance and need a ride please let me
know asap. We will order one or two convertibles for our members who need
assistance.
Please bring your flags and VFP clothing and hats.
Hope to see you on Saturday.
