A really touching ceremony in Hope, AR.
It was complete with cannon booms, high school band, posting of the colors, brief but meaningful speeches by the dignitaries, and even the laying of a large round wreath at the local Memorial Monument. And those sweet two youngsters who carried the wreath had each lost a relative in the war within the past eleven or so years.
And even three WWII veterans were there.
Yes, it was an uplifting ceremony.
We have the typical California dysfunctional City Council but being a city with military roots they manage to set that aside on days like Memorial Day. Most of the events will be this afternoon and evening.
