Hello, friends! My Memorial Day weekend continues with pictures from Sunday. Joe and I went to church as usual and as usual took Cathy and Kathy home. As we are turning into our street we see a parade coming towards us. It was the VFW post and the Boy Scouts. They were coming to do a memorial service at the Vietnam Veterans Building across the street from our home. Joe is a member there and the Chaplain. We knew they were coming, but didn't know they were coming then!
Joe got out of the car to go meet them and I parked and then walked over. The next thing I see is Joe walking into the Memorial Area with them. (Thank goodness he still had on his suit from church and hadn't had time to change his clothes!) Of course I grabbed my camera and began taking pictures.
Joe was able to give the Protestant prayer and the other Chaplain gave the Catholic one.
The laying of the wreath.
I was fortunate enough to be in the right place to get a good shot of the man playing "Taps."
It was a very moving ceremony.
Next up is the Memorial Day parade. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know it's always a big and beautiful one.
