John pointed out that In a couple days the town of Pilsen in the Czech Republic will be celebrating its “Liberation Festival”. There’s a great photo on the front page from a previous year’s parade.

Here’s some footage from 1945 of Pilsen:

This is a great parade. You will see more U.S.A. Flags during this parade then in many U.S. Parades.
Also home of the original Pilsner…
We drove by Pilsen in 2003, not knowing this celebration. Now, I really wished we’d stopped there.
Are those some kind of lights underneath the front fenders?
Bruce … I think they could be turn signals.
