Memorial Day on the Battleship Iowa
We had food trucks, radio and TV stations, Talking Heads and Politicians, military vehicles and a fly-by, live music, fun and games for the kiddies, and thousands of people.
But most importanly, we had Vets.
We had Vets from WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, and all the other battles, named and un-named, that have happened since December 7th, 1941.
We had Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, Enlsted and Officers, and others.....
And we thanked them all.....
And thank you all for your service, wherever, whenever, and whatever it was.
God Bless You all.......
