Yup. Just came back from a parade. Sure felt strange watching representatives of each military organization, especially the Marines and Army. I tried to look at each face, knowing that it may be the last time I see some of them around town. A bunch of them are heading off to Iraq and Afganistan in a few weeks. Almost cried when a group of Girlscouts from a nearby Army base came marching by holding a banner saying that their Dads are off fighting the war. An uncle of mine is having heart problems and now on a pacemaker. He's one of the few remaining vets of the 442nd. My heartfelt prayers go out to all of them and then some.
