We attended the local Veteran’s Day parade today…an annual event honoring veteran’s of all wars. The parade was short…about 20 minutes…but it was nice. I’m not usually a very patriotic person…I love this country…I just don’t feel the need to wave a flag and shout out my loyalties. At any rate…the past two parades which we have attended have evoked a deep feeling of respect in me…for the Patriot Guard. I've been moved...almost to tears...as they ride by. I’ve been asking myself…why? It hasn’t taken long for the answer to become apparent. I have deep respect for them…because they have the courage of their convictions. They don’t just talk the talk…they go out of their way…to walk the walk. They grew tired of people who abuse the intent of our constitution…and instead of sitting around moaning about it…they acted…and continue to act. They rally together; in defense of those who are being harassed…they put themselves between the bully and his victims! I applaud them…and respect them! If only each one of us…could follow that example…myself included!
Be Well!
