Thanks for sharing Mike and Pat. On a few occasions I have made it to local Veteran's Day ceremonies to show my respects and it always amazes how very little turnout there is. During parades, it's usually not our Veterans who get the biggest applause or the cheers from the crowds. It's sad. I'll make it a point to visit one ceremony each year and continue to share with my son why remembering our Veteran's is so important. We need to teach our children and those around us at parades that it's a good thing to yell out a big "THANK YOU" as the Vets walk on by and give them robust standing applause with gratitude on our faces!
