Was a fun holiday here. I live near a small town with a small population of less than 500. The schools have about 1,000 kids mostly from the surrounding countryside. They have a parade every Memorial day with mostly tractors, fire engines, and vets in thier cars. Got to view from my cousins house right next to the grandstand where we have a cookout every year. It attracts over 5,000 people and it is exciting to see them all stand for the national anthem and again as the vets pass by. My youngest son, a vet, sat in the grandstand this year. One day of tribute to all those who served is a small thing compared to that service and all it has given us.
