Thanks everyone. This guy was awesome. So proud riding in that sidecar raising the flag as high as it would go. It was a real joy to watch him in the parade.

I submitted this shot to the local paper who posted it online this morning. There were 17 photos posted in their gallery - all but this one staff photos
What I was most thrilled about was learning about this man. Their caption:
Joy is evident on the face of 92-year-old John Campbell, a World War II Air Force veteran who became a prisoner of war after being shot down over Manchuria, seen riding in the sidecar of a replica of a World War II Russian motorcycle driven by his son Craig Campbell.
