@AdamKinzinger ‘76 was a big event. I was 6. Granted, it was a big round number. But still. There were two “Freedom Trains” traveling throughout the country, carrying Smithsonian displays … rolling museums. Tons of other events. Vietnam over. Flags and USA pride seemed off the charts.
I can vouch for this. We filled out the paperwork to be a food vendor specifically with barbecue and had planned to be there for the entire celebration. Stopped hearing from organizers late last summer, and here we are. Truly sad what has happened, this would have been a truly incredible event.
