Do you applaud heroes in a parade?

We saw 2 parades on Memorial day. Both were filled with soldiers and emergency workers like firefighters, police, troopers, EMT's, and many others. We, like many others, applauded every hero as they passed us in the parade. Last year my son wore a hat and without being told he removed the hat everytime the flag passed him. A soldier actually turned back to shake his hand and thank him for being the only person present to remove their hat for the flag. Did you go to a Memorial day parade? Did you applaud the heroes as they passed?
