Community solidarity is alive and well in Princeton, Texas.

Our street was the scene just a while ago of an apparently ad hoc parade of about 15 vehicles. They rode down our street, some with signs that proclaimed “We’ve got this,” meaning that “we” are going to whip the coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the world by its throat.

Those in the parade waved at households they passed … and then they were gone. Down the street and around the corner to the next street and perhaps beyond even that.

If you ask me, that is precisely the kind of American spirit that will prevail as our government at all levels struggles to find a solution to this crisis.

Yes, we are in what arguably is the greatest health and economic crisis many of us have ever seen or experienced.

Whoever did it, they need to know we appreciate it.

May this community solidarity live on.

This just in: It turns out the parade was orchestrated by teachers at Lowe Elementary School, who wanted to let their students know they miss and love them. The Princeton Independent School District will remain closed at least until May 4.

Well done, folks.
