ABOVE: The Racine Veteran's Firing Squad marching off in Racine's 2007 Memorial Day parade. What most, if not all, of
the current Racine Kilties (seen in the background waiting to march in the parade) probably don't realize is that the Racine
Veteran's Firing Squad Captain, above middle with the pistol holster, is Harald Kahlert, the Racine Kilties first drum major
from way back in 1936. Harald was an original member of the Kilties. Harald joined the Kilties when they organized in the
fall of 1934 as a snare drummer. Harald told me that he thought that the reason he was made the Kilties first drum major
was because he was very tall.
