Yes, that particular event sees about 20,000 people over 3 days. Keep in mind, for the purpose of filming we waited until the crowds were the lightest so we could get the best angles without getting in the way of anyone enjoying the ceremony.

But 20,000 people plus 2 of the 4 television news outlets and the city's newspaper (claimed circulation of over 100,000) means CAP received quite a bit of publicity for their efforts. Not to mention the countless number of vets who were drawn to near tears while witnessing this event. Pretty moving.

I can barely find the words....   The dedication, motivation, and excellence of these Cadets make me proud as hell to be in CAP.    Kudos to them and to their leadership.    :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
