We were able to take a quick break from packing to attend a Memorial Day parade with some of our friends. We used to attend this parade regularly but haven't for several years. It is neat to see a community come out to support our country-- there was lots of standing applause for the veterans and servicemen in the parade. We also got to see several friends who were parade participants which was fun! This was by far my favorite float:
Don't let the innocent smile fool you... he was just as much into grabbing the candy as the kids!
Thank you to all our men in uniform-- past and present-- who have given so much to make our country great. Special thanks to my grandfather, Tata, who is an Army veteran of World War II and to both of Michael's grandfathers (now deceased) who also served in the military. We can never repay the debt we owe you... but I promise we will teach our children to never forget your sacrifice and service to America. Happy Memorial Day!
