time of war in the old country, not in Parma O.

St. Vladimir's float has a small forest of religious gonfalones.
I think, Parma Ohio has the largest number of Ukrainians in Ohio. With war in the old country, many have travelled here. The Parma schools will have over an hundred of these recent émigrés. Parma has had an annual Ukrainian parade for years. This year, the fire hydrants on State Road have been painted in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The marching units are the several Ukrainian churches, and cultural organisations, the three public high school bands, a few businesses, a few old cars, and more politicians than we need to see. There are new Ukrainian aid groups; some friendly national groups, who have marched before, Latvians, Poles, and Lithuanians; a new Ghostbusters group, and returning alpacas.
"Should i not have a trident?"
Ohio University is with Ukraine.
Normandy High's Sousaphones
Dogs belong in parades, and these two saw the camera.
Several congregations had a unit marching, Holy Trinity Parma.

"Someone back there?"
The shirt reads, "I don't need a ride....I need ammunition!"
