Kilted Kindergartener at Veteran's Parade

**O'Neille** · 10th November 06, 02:23 PM

I couldn't ride with the American Legion Riders this year because I was the "Parent Of The Day". So the PCS woke me up early so we could get breakfast before the parade. We parked at my office and walked the two blocks to the parade route. While we were standing there, I saw a lady pointing at me and trying to get her son to look. I finally noticed he was kilted better than I was, so we moved to stand w/ them. He was the most respectful and polite little gentleman I've ever had the pleasure to stand with and the PCS had a buddy to play with and wave flags with. His Father is a Piper w/ the U.S. Border Patrol.

This is his baby Brother, the PCS and her kilted buddy, and his Mother.

Another of myself w/ the little kiltie

And finally the little guy w/ his flag and his Father piping in the parade.

Is he shading his eyes or saluting? Great pics, either way.

Salute! Shade was a secondary benefit.

I'm with ya! What a handsome little man - I know his parents, especially his father must be proud.

Is he wearing his father's pipe band tartan? I don't recognize it, but it's really nice.
