Veterans
My Father and several Uncles were Veterans of WWII. Many of my friends and classmates served in Vietnam. Today is Veteran’s Day. A day for honoring the men and women who have served our country in wars fought over the years, including the Civil War.
Veteran’s Day is a national holiday. I invite you to take a few minutes to give thanks to these gallant people and their families. If you are local to the SF Bay Area, check out the Petaluma Parade, the biggest Veteran’s Day parade north of the Golden Gate. It is always enjoyable, emotional and full of American small-town flavor.
This traditional event, always held on November 11, begins at 1:00. If you plan to go, get there early, as available parking fills up fast.
