Just returned from visiting my folks in Granville, NY. I "sprung" my 74 year old Dad from the nursing home and took him to our town's local park where we watched the Memorial Day Parade conclude and the laying of wreaths at our hometown veterans monuments. I stood with my father and we both saluted together during the raising of the flag. It was very emotional as we had never done that before. He was a 23 yr AF vet and was a loadmaster & combat controller; qual'd on C-47, C-119, C-123, C-124, C-130, C-141 & C-5. It was the most beautiful day and I will never forget it.
