I love that our community has an annual Veteran's Day Parade. Rain or shine (and today it was rain!), people line the streets and give tribute to some of the bravest, most honorable people to have walked the earth.
Many schools close today, but in our community, the children attend school and spend the day in celebration and remembrance, including participation in the parade.
Luke was excited to be riding on a float, waving his American flag, and singing patriotic songs.
I'm certain he didn't truly grasp the importance of what he was doing, but I hope that as he grows older, and learns more about his grandparents, and his uncles, and some of his older cousins, and the sacrifices they made for his freedom, that he will learn to appreciate the veterans, and will wave his flag with heartfelt pride.
