Houstonist Flickr Group Photo of the Day - LiberatingSugarLandtx1985

LiberatingSugarLandtx1985

The shot from flickr user and houstonist photo contributor johnjron1.

Once again, Johnjron1 serves up a decent shot with a caption that's highly enjoyable:

"(1985) Sugar Land, Texas is liberated by the CHS NJROTC Drill Team...let Freedom Ring! ;-) Wrapping up Fort Bend County Fair Day Parade, 1985 "

While the color isn't great (it's an old shot, we can forgive), the history is awesome. Note that the Imperial Sugar Factory in the background is still in operation. If you're interested, here's a discussion of what to do with the old white towers.
