The little one commaded a JROTC color guard. They got to be at an lz then salute a General after his Blackhawk landed. Later they presented the colors at a small ceromony for a group of 450 vets on their Run for the Wall as they came thru Montvale this past thursday.
They performed flawlessly....really proud of her. Later, one of her guys thanked her....he didn't really appreciate the importantance of what they were doing till after a few old vets thanked them with tear filled eyes.
This weekend...since I don't do crowds either.....I'm gonna add some waterproofing to a coupla basement walls.

Turns out that tommorrow, the little one has the honor of posting colors at the D-Day memorial.
The mrs retired Navy, I was an Army medic, both dads were retired Air Force and are now in National Cemetaries. I still have a great uncle who's a retired USMC LG....there's more. You can definately say a family thing. The little one want's to go to VMI. We too remember every day.
