On the beach, listening to Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band.
Two medal of honor recipients in the crowd and 10 WW II vets.
When the vets were leaving, the folks lining the streets (young and old) spontaneously stood and applauded as they strolled down the sidewalk.
And the military personnel, attending in uniform, all saluted the medal wearers.
I was glad my Mum got to see this.
These folks saved the world from tyranny so flags could be burned.
And gays could marry.
Hoo rah!
I see things like that sometimes, a uniformed military person or an older vet with a hat and a few pins in it. They walk past or are just in line at a store and people shake their hands or smile and say thank you. I've yet to see one get bashed or messed with.
