Sam Kimpton Marched with the Vincent J. MacDonald Chapter of the 11th Airborne Division Association in the Vancouver Veterans Day Parade. The parade route, which had been curtailed somewhat in recent years was restored to its former configuration and wound through Vancouver's bussiness district.

The cadre of the MacDonald Chapter marched to a Duckworth Chant (AKA "Jody Call"). This was the first time in fifty or sixty years for most of these men and it proved to be a real croud pleaser with the parade watchers.
