Does anyone have a picture of the Jordan Band marching in the 1969 Inaugural parade? I have it somewhere, but cannot locate it.

The Georgia Republican Party selected the Jordan Red Jacket Band to be the official Georgia entry in the 1969 Presidential Inaugural Parade in Washington. The trip, made by train included a two day tour of historical sites, was financed by a mass effort raised by the band parents and members. A new banner was designed for the march down Pennsylvania Avenue, and the music performed was “American Legion March”. http://jvhsalumni.com/#/jvhs-music-history/4542728257
