No Kissing the Soldiers at Savannah's St. Patrick's Parade

From the March 11, 2017, Chicago Tribune  "Army:  No kissing parading soldiers on St. Patrick's Day" by Russ Bynum, AP.

Well, the Army says that makes the soldiers look unprofessional.  So,  not sure how they will stop it.  "Duck and cover?"  No word from them as to what they will do if a gal gets in close for a kiss.

Anyway, Savannah, Georgia,'s  St. Patrick's parade and celebration is legendary, right up there after Mardi Gras in New Orleans.  Roughly 200 soldiers from nearby Fort Stewart will be taking part in the parade this Saturday.

Organizers say that as many as 500,000 revelers will be downtown this weekend in Georgia's oldest city.

Irish immigrants (they didn't all go to New York City and Boston) and their descendants have marched in the St. Patrick's parade since 1824.

And, It's a Real Big Parade.  OK, Girls, Put Away the Lipstick.  --CootRish
