game. >> hi, i'm sergeant willis, originally from brooklyn, new york, i want to say hi to my family in brooklyn and go big blue. >> from afghanistan. after all that, staff sergeant willis was there if only as a picture on his mom's poster downtown. you can't throw a ticker tape parade without raising the question when the city will welcome home another group of heros, veterans of the war iraq, like sergeant willis. in 1991 the first war in iraq, the gulf war parade, looks like the giants ride through the canyon of heros today, only with line after line of marching troops. we heard talk of parades in other cities for veterans of the second war in iraq, so far only the mighty city of st. louis has thrown one, started with two ordinary guys and a facebook pain, did not start off what you might call an official response but the city got behind it, turned out 100,000 people. the official response of new york has been that now is too soon.
