During this parade Joe reports that a little girl yelled, “Look Mommy! They are searching for SANTA!!
Joe writes, “Christmas parade took place in Rehoboth Beach, DE recently and we were honored to join ranks with members of the 261st Coast Artillery group from nearby Fort Miles. They brought along their 1942 Sperry Searchlight to liven up the parade route. This war surplus light has an 8 million candlepower beam with a 25 mile range. The rig successfully TURNED OFF every streetlight it got near and the float driver for the parade entry directly behind us had to wear SUNGLASSES during the entire parade.
Videos were taken in the parade form-up area prior to the start of the parade………Jeeps included an M151A2 (depicting US Navy Shore Patrol) and a Willys MB.”
