"I stood along the street with everyone else, anticipating the annual parade. While I was not the most patriotic and fanatic, I still found pride in my life for my country. I watched as a tank, a "B-52" I think it was called, pulled around the corner, signaling that the Heer were leading this years parade. I saw the giant Bolonesvian banners wave strong as the stoic soldier rhythmically marched as the national anthem played. They seemed to move as one, the soldiers. Their BkS and B-47s gleamed in the sun as they turned to the President, who followed custom with the fist raised in the sky, a symbol of the revolution that created our nation. Following the parade of soldiers was the motorcade showing off the wide range of vehicles fielded by the Heer. The Marinewacht followed behind this, marching in their dress uniforms. The Admiral of the Navy and his staff lead the procession, saluting the citizens to his left. As the procession past, the old and new planes of the Luftwacht flew past, deafening the crowd as propeller and jet engines roared past. Bolonesvia Day ended with a 21 gun salute, and a quick speach from Helen Reins."
