Veterans Day a day to reflect

COUSINS AT THE PARADE!
What a great way to celebrate a day off from school. Taking the girls to a Veterans day Parade with their cousins. This is City of Mesa tradition and this parade was huge. There was so many spectators and also so many participants. My Girls want to send a special tribute to their Grandpa Glahn who served in the WW2 has a navy Coreman. We love him and miss him. We have another Special Tribute to send out to Grandpa Davidson who also served in the Navy. and also Uncle Dave who served in Desert Storm. These are our Heroes

This was a special part of the parade, Family members walked proudly as they held flags on their fallen hero. Their loved ones were displayed proudly on their flag as they marched the parade route. It brought a tear to my eyes as we stood and clapped until the all passed by. There was allot of heroes to salute. It was a great time to explain to the little ones what Veterans day meant, It was so special to see the Haylee, Brooke, Ava, Braiden see the faces on the flags and have them stand so quietly and respectfully as they walked by. Can you imagine what they must have thought? It was a tender moment to see that. The parade was so long the little ones started to get wiggly so we ended the afternoon at Jack in the Box eating Taco's... To all of you who have Veteran Family and Friends, We thank you for your service!
