Lets remember our Fallen Veterans today. If it were not for them, we would not be having fun on this day.
I had an Uncle who was a WW1 Vet. He led the Veterans Day Parade in Manhattan until he was into his 80s, then when he could not keep up by walking, they put him in a car that led the parade. His uniform stilll fit.
My Army uniform didn't fit me after about ten minutes after I came back to civilian life.
My Father N Law was wounded in the Cook Islands and spent a year in a hospital. My Dad was a little old for WW2 so they made him a plumber building Navy ships in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
I hope during our bar be cue's and partying we take a moment to remember our fallen Veterans.
When I was a kid this was called Decoration Day
