[R] Veteran's Day

Veteran's Day -- Thank you, Veterans!
Yesterday we attended the local Veteran's Day Parade in Ellensburg. It was really nice to see people come out to support the veterans and current military people. I kept going back to the Obama election and thinking how I have never ever ever ever felt so proud of the country as I have this past week. It was a great feeling to look at the miriad of flags and smile and think, "Yeah, America!!"

And, on a side note, I love Ellensburg. I love that I live in a town where you can stop traffic for 45 minutes or so to have a Veteran's Day Parade, and I love that a whole bunch of people show up for it on a Tuesday morning and I love that you can watch the parade on one street and then walk one block and watch it again on another street! However, I get the feeling that Adele was thinking the whole time, "Ok, so I like the free flag, but where's the CANDY?"
