Veterans Day Parade
Well I went to my first Veterans Day Parade, and what a good first one. Since Brian was marching in this parade I opted for the parade on base instead of going to the one in town. I was worried that it would be packed with people so we got there really early and Lucas had fun wandering around and of course following everyone in ABU's (camos) saying "Dad... Dada". We were 2 of the probably 10 civilians that ended up coming to watch the parade, the rest of the stands were completely filled with all of the troops that are assigned to Sheppard for school. It was neat because they had 2 other services marching there too, although I didn't catch which branches (thus the Army? and Marines? comments). At the beginning the marching band played the songs of all of the Military branches and then the National Anthem. It was weird because some of the branches songs were actually familiar patriotic songs that I remembered singing as a kid in school. Anyway it was very neat and I am glad that I went.
