November 11, 2012

Today is Remembrance Day and I am thinking of the sacrifices that my Opa and Pappy made while fighting in the war, thankful for what they did, for us.

Every year, Mike gets out his parade gloss and shines his shoes, puts on his #1 uniform and marches in the Forest Remembrance Day parade.  We went to watch him and spent some time with him at the Legion afterwards, before he went to the nursing home in Forest to sit and chat with some of the vetrans there.  It was a beautiful day today, almost 20 degrees!  Most years, it is cold and we are usually shivering by the time the outdoor service is over.  The warmth of the sun was welcomed today!
