Weather, troop deployment, school closing and torn up downtown streets failed to stop the 2003 Armed Forces Day Parade in Chattanooga on Friday, May 9, 2003.  For full information and pictures, go to Parade Website.

The parade scheduled for today is still on, although diminished.  The two bands--Central and Hixson high schools--have cancelled.  But there will be participation from the JrROTC, according to parade coordinator Mary Smith.  This is what she wrote: 
"Bands have all cancelled out.  But I did hear from Sale Creek 's Sgt. Lewis about 8:30 pm that he is getting 10 JROTC  to the parade.  Their parents are driving them.   That is dedication and patriotism!"

The Veterans Dock takes a beating from the flooding Tennessee River.

The Veterans Dock at VFW Post 4848 on Riverside Drive rode high on Tuesday, May 6, (top two pictures) but was still afloat and attached.  Rising waters and vicious current on Wednesday broke the upper cable loose and the dock bobbed in the water held only by one cable as waters neared the post home.  TV Cameraman Chris Lane photographs the dock which he originally covered when it was installed by Jim Harmon (right) who watches helplessly with Mac McGuffey (left) (bottom middle picture).
