I would say that the stars aligned for Veterans' Day this year. It was sunny and 55 degrees. Gabe had the day off and was able to join us for the parade in Brewer. I know that I have said this before, but they have such an impressive parade celebrating veterans. So many bands, ROTC programs, girl scouts, boy scouts and just so many veterans both walking and riding the parade route.
As always, it was an emotional and very heartwarming day for my dad and us watching him accept thanks and handshakes from so many people. The kids are getting old enough to start to understand what this is all about, so neat for them to be part of it too. The girl scouts even gave dad two thank you cards, one specific for the air force... he is pretty proud of these cards... so much so that he let me take his pictures with them. Just a nice reminder that doing something small of someone can make a big difference:) After the parade and lunch the kids got to play with Trey at the Children's Discovery Museum before heading home.
