sparky-elpaso Posted November 12, 2014 #27 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I have to share this. We had a small parade and dedication of a statue of a soldier at a park in our neighborhood - Veterans Park. At one point a guy walked up and asked DH if he was a veteran - he is. Handed him this letter from a grade school student. I imagine they were handing them out to others too. And we had the big flag out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted November 12, 2014 #28 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Ahhh, that letter is darling. What a sweetheart little Stephanie must be. Thanks for sharing her letter and the beautiful flag photo on the fire ladder. Looks terrific!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmtrip Posted November 12, 2014 #29 Share Posted November 12, 2014 First - thank you so much to those who currently serve, those who have served, and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Second - As the wife of a military officer (17 yrs Navy) and the daughter of a Viet Nam Vet I think it is wonderful how everyone is honoring our Vets today. I spent the morning at a wonderful ceremony and then watched many more on tv today and I am truly touched by the outpouring of love and respect shown for Vets of all ages. It seems like we have finally found something that we can all (well almost all - someone correct me LOL) agree on - those that serve/have served are TRUE HEROES! PS - Love that letter from Stephanie - she says it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted November 12, 2014 #32 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I wish there had been some Beefeaters in the photos. Their red uniforms are spectacular and would be glorious with the poppies. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
