NEW YORK – Legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin and the U.S. Air Force’s highest-ranking woman joined Mayor Bill de Blasio and others at the city’s Veterans Day parade.

The Democratic De Blasio said he was “totally star-struck” when he met the 87-year-old Aldrin Saturday ahead of the parade that stepped off on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. Aldrin served in the U.S. Air Force and was the second man on the moon, piloting the Apollo 11 and following Neil Armstrong onto the lunar surface in 1969. Aldrin served as Grand Marshal, riding in a convertible and waving to the crowds.

“It’s beautiful, so many people,” he said.

Air Force Gen. Ellen Pawlikowski also attended, along with hundreds of other veterans who marched in the winter cold. The World War II veterans rode in a float with one former soldier holding a sign that read “Thank you for remembering.” Others held U.S. flags or black-and-white photos of their loved ones, and dressed in historic uniforms. A man dressed as a sailor and a woman in a nurse’s uniform re-enacted the famous World War II V-J Day kiss photo.

Continues at link.

Just watched most of this live streamed.  They spoke to a 90+ year old WWI vet who remembered marching down Fifth Avenue when he came home from the war.

Assault. She didn't give consent first.

I love Buzz Aldrin and I follow him on FB and Twitter.

And I will always respect him for punching the guy, a crank conspiracy theorist stalker who claims the Moon landings were all fake and the Buzz among the other brave astronauts, were all liars.

I never heard that story.   For punching out a conspiracy nut alone, Aldrin gets a  :thumbsup: from me. 

All those guys who went into space back then were heroes.  Not too many of them left, unfortunately.

I hope she wasn't 19.

Thank you on his behalf.  The company he works for sent him in recognition of the work he does with veterans.

If he goes next year, I'd be honored to buy him a drink or a coffee and of course a donut.
