Henry Ogrodzinski, (Shown walking in the black shirt at left) President of the National Association of State Aviation Officials was one of those veterans participating in the parade. "It was an honor to participate in the EAA Salute to Veterans," said Ogrodzinski. "Although I am proud of my time in the Army, I was just an ordinary soldier." "But, I did have the opportunity to serve in the company of heroes," said Ogrodzinski, "It was a great privilege to march with them again…one last time."
