Happy Veteran's Day!

Here in Huntsville we do Veteran's Day up right. 

We have Redstone Arsenal - so - we got stuff.  

We have an Army garrison so we have soldiers.

We have families of fallen veterans.

We have old firetrucks carrying our mayor.

We have very large military vehicles.

We have lots of high school JROTC students.

More vehicles carrying veterans.

Did I tell you we have large military vehicles?

What's a parade without Shriners in little cars?

Several scout troops.

Future soldiers.

Old cars.

High school and college marching bands.

And of course more veterans.  

After the parade our church members were treated to very special entertainment 

during lunch,

the Army Materiel Band.  

They were talented and very funny as they played oldies for us,

lots of songs to sing along with. 

Allison seemed to be a magnet for flags during the course of the parade.  

I told her she looked like a patriotic peacock.  

It was a wonderful way to spend a very special 11/11/11.  

Makes me proud to be a Huntsvillian, Alabamian, and American.
