We enjoyed our local parade, and I kept laughing at Bob when he kept saying 'It's my day, it's my day..."

For us, Memorial Day is the somber day, and Veterans Day the celebration - to honor, yes, but also to celebrate and thank god or the stars that they made it and are with us.

I hope the veterans in your lives were able to celebrate Veterans Day, if not surrounded by the pomp and circumstance of a parade, then by the appreciation and celebration of those they know.
