    TEXT: Vergennes, VT  May 25, 2015

Reporter: ...small town has a presidential candidate at their Memorial Day parade.  Why come out here today?

Sanders: Well I've been coming here for about 25 years, almost every year.  The city of Vergennes and the American Legion put on a wonderful, wonderful event and hundreds and hundreds of people participate with floats and then there's going to be a Memorial Day ceremony, and I think in the midst of all of this it's important to remember what today is about.


Nat. Sound (lots of crosstalk):
VFW Man: Run Bernie Run...

Sanders
: How are you?  I missed a good event in Brookfield, huh?

VFW Man 2
: Hey, Bernie, how's it going?  Do you want to do a good job for us?

Man
: I thought you would be here.
Sanders: Thank you.
Man: You're going to say a few words?
Sanders: I will.
Man: Good.

Sanders: Do you need a hand?

Sanders: How are you?  Hello. 
Voice: How are you doing?
Sanders: Hi.

Sanders to Granddaughter: Are you going to walk with grandpa? 
to crowd: Hello.

Sanders (speech): And I'm very glad that my grandchildren are here today and my family is here today, my wife and family, because I want them to understand, and I applaud the city and the American Legion for every year involving young people in this event because it is important for the young people and all of us to remember the ultimate sacrifice that so many made, and the burden and the sorrow that their families are living with.  [applause]

Man (audio): Thank you; thank you, Bernie.
