Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 When only the best will do: Star Wars and stormtroopers! Probably the greatest troop the Legion has ever done, 200 members from around the world, assembled for the Rose Parade. For those of us who participated, perhaps the best experience trooping we've ever had. For others, I hope that some day there comes another opportunity to not only gather in such a large number, which was part of it, but also the shared effort that brought everyone together. Else it would have been just a large turnout. At the time my TK was not where it needed to be to take to Pasadena so I ended up using the TD instead. I'm the black pauldron the front right. For my brothers & sister in the Legion, I raise a glass and as a toast wish you all a prosperous and happy 2013. May your life be filled with good times.

The5thHorseman[TK] Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I remember that when I saw the Rose Parade's report about the 501st, it kicked my an impolite person so hard that I've became obsess by an idea: make my own Stormtrooper armor. Since then I've found this forum and now I'm really happy to say that I've got my armor on its way ! And most of all, I also managed to involve my brother who have his armor on its way too ^^ And I really hope we could add two new EIB trooper to the Legion for this new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr0072003[501st] Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Man this is soooo cool. This is exactly why I want to be in the 501. And to make it better, the rose parade is in my neck of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm wondering if there are any other Rose Parade vets also on the boards? It would be great to share experiences/memories/photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The5thHorseman[TK] Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I remember have already seen someone with a patch "I survived the Rose Parade" and I'm pretty sur it was on the forum ! So yes I think you definitely aren't the only vet here ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
