yup, November 16, 1998 -- John Glenn and astronauts of Space Shuttle Discovery mission STS-95.

Mandela was in 1990, and there were two troop parades in 1991 (Persian Gulf, and Korean vets). Other than that, all were either for professional sports teams or for Sammy Sosa. Kind of weird that there's only been two in the 9 years I've been in NYC.

Oops, forgot about the vets. I remember John Glenn only because I was working near there at got to see a bit of the parade. -- nm - Krusty Sep 9, 09:21 4
