A wonderful parade. New York, take note

As a person from Kansas City, and a lifelong fan of the Chiefs and a fan of the Royals since they have been a team, it comes as a big surprise that I have to say congrats to a city I have no love for, St. Louis. Now, I really have nothing against the city, which I have found great every time I've visited. And I have liked each person that I've met from there, whether when I passed through or met and served with in the military. But coming from a city which is considered an after thought in St. Louis, not even a little sister type, I have to congratulate the city and surrounding towns for the parade they gave to the troops this Saturday. You gave the returning troops and all vets a wonderful feeling with your open arms, and your willingness in holding a parade to honor the returning troops and the end of the Iraqi war is something that all of us can be proud of. And people of New York, you should be ashamed of your mayor and your city for not having a parade there. St. Louis, I salute you, and from a Kansas Citian, that is high praise, indeed.
