We got to meet the guys who came out from the NJ Federal Firefighters Honor Guard. The members of the Honor Guard render honors and respect for all the professionals who have proudly served.

The parade was started in 1974 (38th annual)...the first parade had a few fire engines, a handful of marchers and bands...2012 has tens of thousands of marchers from all over the state...it is New Jersey's biggest parade...(not because I'm in it)

Grand Marshall is John Carr former president of The friendly Sons of the Sheleileigh and Deputy Grand Marshall is Jane Gould

The parade steps off at 12:30. Get updates here all day.
