COCOA, FL - The American Veteran's Color Guard has drawn salutes, applause and appreciation from spectators at the parades and special events it has participated in since the group formed in 2001.
Now the marchers are preparing for what could be their biggest parade yet -- the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C. Last year, some 250,000 spectators lined the streets.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1387 sponsors the group, some of whose members are Civil War re-enactors. Members range in age from 18 to 71 years.
