Veterans Day November 11th

 The morning started with the annual Mesa Veterans Day Parade.

I wore the hat that my Boyfriend's Dad bought me :)

 Little Bear held his flag and lounged in the chair....until he found the love of his life which will be pictured below.

 We were greeted by some vintage planes.

 Bug waved his flag proudly.

 and bear found the love of his life...

and shared a jacket with here

(TISH)

 I kept a baby warm, 

so I was in heaven.

 some more planes came by to buzz us.

 I bet this boyscout was thrilled to sit behind a gun like that.

 (I don't even want to know the price of that monster bike)

 I was saluted by some very special Vietnam Vets.

This helicopter was shot down several times, then brought back to the states to be restored.

We celebrated at the local vet center, where I read the names of honor.

I think even one of Santa's helpers showed up

I was supported by my boys and a wonderful family who loves me :)
