Aarron's school sponsors the Veteran's Day Parade every year. At the end of the parade they have a mexican lunch at the American Legion for all of the veteran's in town. It's kind of sad because not very many people come out to support our heroes.
Aarron is second on the right. He was so proud to throw candy to the crowd.
I would like to pay tribute to my Veteran Heroes. I love my dad and grandfathers for their brave actions to keep our country free.
My dad fought in the Vietnam War after being married for a very short time and leaving his wife and new baby at home. After being wounded by shrapnel he was able to come home to a second baby and was awarded a "Purple Heart". My dad is an awesome person and would do anything for anyone.
My mom's dad, Richard Tearance Slade fought in World War II. He served in the Navy and worked the radio's doing "Moris Code" on the naval ships. Even though he passed away 21 years ago this Thanksgiving we still honor and cherish his life. He is forever a hero to his wife, children, and grandchildren.
My dad's dad, John William Wellman, also fought in World War II for the Royal Canadian Airforce alongside the US. He will turn 88 this December. Even at his fragile age he still knows how to joke with you and love's to tell his stories.
Happy Veteran's Day!
