2022 Waynedale Memorial Day Parade #4

Polaroid snapshot of the Veterans For Earned Healthcare car at the 2022 Waynedale Memorial Day Parade. The car was created by army veteran Richard Robinson using a 1978 Pontiac Bonneville sedan. The car is covered in signs demanding free healthcare for veterans along with signs listing the numbers of American soldiers killed and wounded in recent wars.

Mr. Robinson is the old man walking on the other side of the car. I also have a portrait of him that I made at the 2021 parade.

Waynedale used to be a small town in rural Allen County, Indiana. Although it was annexed by the city of Fort Wayne in 1957, Waynedale still looks like a small town. Fort Wayne has an annual Memorial Day parade, but Waynedale has always had its own parade, too. The Waynedale parade starts at Waynedale United Methodist Church and runs north on Old Trail Road to the Prairie Grove Cemetery.
