Perch Base
Phoenix Veterans Day Parade
Fourteen Perch Base members took the USS Phoenix float to the Phoenix, Arizona, Veterans Day Parade on
Thursday, November 11, 2021.
We staged the float at the Firestone Complete Auto Care at 241 W Osborn Rd (Thanks for letting us use your store lot) and then
rode the float to the parade starting point.

After arriving at the starting point, we wait for the 53 entries in front of us to roll. The classic "Hurry up and wait!"
