Well said Shane.

We just returned from our local Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Cenotaph, which we attend every year. It never ceases to amaze me the number of veterans, some well into their 80's and 90's that make the trek from the local Legion to participate in the parade.

Both our kids attended every year and our grandson, at 22 months, just attended his 2nd Remembrance Day ceremony, proudly wearing his poppy.

Fortunately it wasn't raining on the West Coast this year, so our veterans stayed dry for a change.

Thanks to all the 1% that served with us Vets, to make it possible for 99% of the American public to vote and live in a free nation, LEAST WE NOT FORGET "Freedom is NOT FREE"

According to our local channel 48 the Huntsville, Al. Parade is the 2nd largest in the U.S.

You are correct ~ The Taney is the last floating ship from Pearl Harbor. We live just on the north side of Baltimore and I have been on her several times.

Many thanks to all my fellow veterans ! Semper Fi !!
