Veterans Day


Recommended Posts

No speeches or sermons for me this year. Just damn proud to have served. To all who were, and are, and will be...I salute you. Peace.

I attended my first veterans day celebration put on by our local JR High school. It was a surprise, shock, and joy to see things like:

The Pledge of Allegiance

God Bless America

God Bless the USA

And the kids recreating things like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima, etc. The vets standing as their respective flags were paraded before the crowd (of over 500 vets and 1299 students) while the branch song was played. It is amazing how old people singing can both be funny and so serious at the same time.

All I can say is it was .... moving.

It was. I remember thinking "I wish I had brought my camera." The a couple of days later.."Damn, I have a camera in my cell phone." It's tough to get old.
