Update #3 : Soldier Homecoming : Fri Aug 13th @ Cy-Ranch

[SpeedRacerSlots]

All:
Just got an email from the people that have been at setup since 5am...

UPDATED TIMEFRAME : Target timeframe is now 9.30 - 10.30 AM (if no delays)...
This will be the last posted update here.

Got word today that THIS FRI, that Cy-Ranch will be used as a staging area for a Soldiers Homecoming. The troops have been on a 13mo deployment in Afganistan.

The procession is supposed to come from 290 @ Fry, up Fry to Cy-Ranch.
They have requested that all spectators and well-wishers be on the Blackhorse / Bridgeland side of the road.
The median will not be an option due to security & law enforcement (per the email).


Come out and support the troops!
Perfect op for some incredibly emotional photos (as Donna has shown us too!)
The band, drill team, cheerleaders, etc will all be there as well.
There is a full military ceremony in the auditorium which will be closed to only the families once they are there.

Now then caveat (Thanks Donna!) is that due to flights, traffic etc, there could be some delays, so keep that in mind.

See you there!

I was unable to go due to some imaging tests, but a friend told me there were a bunch of photogs out there. If you were there, lets see your pics.
