Minutemen invited to march in Fourth of July parade

It was reported today that Fremont's Fourth of July Parade Organizing Committee invited Golden Gate Minutemen to lead the city's Fourth of July parade. The Argus reports that "Not only can the Golden Gate Minutemen march, but they have been asked to walk with three giant red, white and blue star-shaped balloons." When asked about the participation of the Golden Gate Minutemen in the parade, Chairwoman Patty Hitchcock, says "I think that would be a really good way to (mend fences)." The Minutemen, she added, would be invited to future Fremont Independence Day parades as well.
