Universal Studios to salute veterans on Friday

Disabled American Veterans Chapter 16 of Orlando and the Auxiliary members will be in this parade too! I've been looking forward to this for over a month now. Should be a really wonderful day.

Universal Studios will have a in-park parade of its military veterans for an early commemoration of Veterans Day on Friday.

Members of the Universal Orlando Resort’s Veteran Network will be joined by folks from the American Legion, Orlando Police Department, the Orlando Fire Department’s Pipe and Drum Corps, high-school ROTC branches and the Jones High School marching band.

The parade will start at 11 a.m. at Beetlejuice’s Graveyard Revue, and it will include a ceremonial flag-raising at the theme park’s Music Plaza.

Universal Orlando characters and performers will accompany veterans as they parade through the Studios.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (June 1) - A large fire tore through a back lot at Universal Studios early Sunday, destroying a set from "Back to the Future," the King Kong exhibit and a video vault containing more than 40,000 videos and reels.

Go to the above site and take a look at some of the photographs of the firefighters risking their lives like they always do. Several pictures have them on top of roofs as the smoke rises showing how brave these people are. They do their jobs everyday but this day they were there to save Universal Studios and did a great job of keeping the fire for spreading. The least Universal Studios can do is provide these brave men and women free passes for a year for them and their families. That would be the least they could do to say thank you for saving most of Universal Studios and allowing it to reopen already.
