Charly got to march in the Veteran's Day parade in New York City this year. We got to see her sort of, online. My pics are terrible, but it was fun to watch. Since it was the Marine's birthday the day before they had Lieutenant General Calvert L. Worth Jr. there with her group to ring in the stock exchange and speak at the parade. He's a Missouri native, so that was fun.
The kids were asking me why Charly got to go since she isn't a veteran yet. I told them not everyone in the parade is a veteran. It got me thinking about that though, it was neat to see so many veterans in the parade. It was a nice way to celebrate those who have sacrificed for our country. I am so grateful to the men and women who volunteer to serve our nation.
