Memorial Day Veterans

This morning at 8 am I attended our yearly Veterans Day program in Sunriver. There was an appreciative audience mostly age 55+ retirees attended. I was touched by the patriotic spirit shown.

The flags of all the service-Army, Navy, etc were at half mast
A Veterans memorial for those who served our country
Old Glory flies in the middle of all other flags
93 year old Army chaplain Russ Robertson
Amazing so many could fit in their old uniforms
Placing the memorial wreath
Some veterans rode their motorcycles in with flags flying
Everyone either saluted or placed their right hand on their heart
Beautiful eagle statue shows honor and courage
Music and talks were beautiful, taps and bagpipes added so much.

  2. We always have a wonderful service here at the Nimitz, Museum of the Pacific War. And I watched the President at Arlington as well.
