Russo Marine and Only In America will stage a Parade of Whalers through Boston Harbor on the 4th of July. Together we will help escort the USS Constitution as she maneuvers to give her 21 Gun Salute to celebrate the day. We are also working to have an active military/veteran aboard each boat.
The event will begin at 10:00am (tentatively.) Each entrant will receive a flag, an event t-shirt and sheet music, get ready to sing! The cost of the event will be around $30 - 35. All proceeds of the event will go to the Jimmy Miller Foundation which uses ocean therapy to help our Wounded Warriors.
More specific information and how to sign up for the event will be available in the next few days. We simply wanted to give everyone a heads up.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on the 4th of July.
Only In America

I wish I could be there for it! Sounds like a party -- and a pretty cool thing to help escort the Constitution in to Boston Harbor! Good luck, safe travels, and have fun, John! I hope you're writing down all of these stories!
