Least understood downtown event

This Saturday in downtown Raleigh the North Carolina Bankers Association will put on the largest military parade in the history of the state.  Evidently the elaborate production was chosen as the single most appropriate way that the sponsors might render assistance to those in our armed services. 

It seems odd to us that the Bankers Association is sponsoring a military parade.  We don't see the connection.  One can only conclude they are planning a mass foreclosure action against soldiers'  widows, or something.
