Going to the Turkish Parade every year has have become our tradition.  I still remember my first parade, like it was yesterday! This year I was unable to attend, because I in Turkey and the experience and atmosphere in Turkey was completely different.  Days before the May 19, I was in Ankara visiting the An?tkabir memorial tomb of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.  It was a feeling deep inside that I will not forget.

May 19, 2007 – Genclik ve Spor Bayrami – Youth Sport Holiday

Even though it was a rain day I believe they all made best out of it! Long Live Turkey!
