Veteran's Day

Today Alex and I attended the Parker Elementary (Carly's school) Veteran's Day ceremony. I've never attended one before. I thought it was pretty emotional. They had a gun salute, bells, flag raising, Taps and even bagpipes (Is there anything that sounds more chilling than bagpipes?). We are definitely going to make it an annual event. Although I never really gave it a ton of thought, I think it's really important to honor all of the brave men and women who have served our great country. Just imagine where we would be without them. So, if you know a veteran, call them today and say hello. If you don't know any personally, next time you see someone in uniform, stop and tell them thank you. Ok, gotta jump off my soapbox now.

Have a good afternoon and be careful if you are driving anywhere this evening (We've had every kind of precip today and it's chilly.) .
