Tuesday, Dykhouse led the way for the last time, riding in an all-American Ford Mustang with the 76-flag waving behind him.

The longtime parade man says he doesn't move like he used to, so it's time to pass the flag.
Now, his grandson Ashley will take over for him, wearing the costume made many years ago by a neighbor.
