Today, our country gives thanks for those who, throughout the 245 years since the Revolutionary War, have volunteered and many have died, so we can live the great lives we have. We live in freedom in an amazing country. Our resort held a parade and lunch to mark this day and thank those who served.
I, and many of the others in this 55+ resort, were born during or soon after World War II. Some served in the Korean Conflict, many in the Viet Nam war. Since then, our son served during Desert Storm. They all helped keep us and our country safe. THANK YOU!
A parade in a senior resort includes lots of golf carts and bikes, as well as some folks walking. The flags of the US and Canada were carried by some young men--I imagine from a Boy Scout group.
Our older son, Doug, was a member of the US Marines for 23 years, serving in Panama, Somalia, Iraq and Kuwait, among other assignments. We are proud of his service and so grateful he came come safely.
