James Talia of Corvallis can’t help but smile as the Hamilton Fourth of July parade inched by on Main Street Saturday. The annual event is sponsored by the Hamilton United Business organization. Hundreds of people turned out to watch.

" How about a big Thank You to the Marines who volenteer there time to do these parades and funerals, maybe next time you could could put a picture or mention past defenders of freedom out in your paper. thanks for the great shot of a bumper that really bought our freedom.

" The parade turned out very nice.
What was even extra special,
is I was basically behind the Marines color guard in my debut appearance....
(walking my flag-decorated bike)
What would be great, however, is if we had a marching band or two to provide
some patriotic tunes to the event.
Oh well....
Nevertheless, the parade turned out very good. :)
Meanwhile, I gonna take a little trip on over to the news-stand and get me a paper and see if my they was able to get my picture in there. ;)
Cheers! "

" Geesh- why not quit whining about every single article that is published in the paper. Can't you just say thank you to the reporters for covering a fun light-hearted story about good things in our community?! "
