It is the VeteranThat gave us our freedom. Sierra Vista Arizona Remembers that on Veteran's Day. When the colors passed the people stood and gave the proper courtesy to the colors and all along the parade route as the old timers passed and current serving troops passed could be heard the words, sometimes soft and sweetly as in a mother's voice and somtimes booming from a patriot watching; Thank You! We Love You! God Bless You!

For the first time in a long time, I made sure to be at the Veterans' Day Parade -- not that it was easy to find out the details. Nothing in the newspapers or on the news, but I did find it and met up with a few FReepers there: firebrand, Tabi Katz and Cacique. Maybe if it weren't so cold and dreary (and, toward the end, drizzly), more people would have shown up...Anyway, I got there early and was walking around amongst the vets, but I soon left (and headed up to meet the other FReepers) because, frankly, I...

Hi Everyone. I put a mini Freep into action today at the largest Veteran's Day Parade in the USA. So it seemed only fitting that I should lurk no more and share with you all. My 11 year old son and I went to the Parade to pay our respects. My Dad's cousin Maj. James Carlton was MIA in 'Nam. My grandfather was in London during the Blitz. (He came home a changed man for sure.) My Uncle Earl was a Helicopter Gunner in 'Nam. He was my hero! He died after the war. We also wanted to pay our...

Sunday, November 10, the annual Veteran's Day Parade will take place from 1-3 PM in San Francisco. KSFO.COM is looking for volunteers to help carry a large American flag along the parade route. Click on the link for info. I had an idea. Maybe Bay Area FReepers could march in the parade as a group. (We could have some signs - "FREEREPUBLIC.COM SALUTES OUR VETERANS!," etc. and/or pass out small fliers to let people know to visit the USO Canteen FReeper Style.) I don't know if it's too late to inquire, but, if someone is interested in finding out regarding...
