Remembrance/ Veterans Day

[Macman]

I go every year, but I had never worn a kilt to our Remembrance Day ceremony until yesterday, when I was with my pipe band for the first time. It just didn't seem right for me; I don't really know why.

I did and I do ;-)

I went in my uniform as I was on Parade in Langford.

I was not kilted, but I did carry a WWII ex-pow and his wife in my 1931 Model A Ford Victoria during the local Veterans Day parade. I was in my old uniform. It was rather chilly that day and they were glad to ride in an enclosed car instead of one of the open touring cars. In all we had 10 antique cars. Oldest was a 1909 REO touring. Mine was the newest. In addition to the REO, there was a Maxwell, Studebaker, Jones 6, and several other Model A's and T's. We carried 11 ex-pow's. Great parade, lots of spectators.

Yup. Black Stewart.

Didn't get to go last week, but made a trip to the Wall (Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington DC) yesterday in my USMC tartan kilt.

Absent Companions! (throws glass into fireplace)

I was fortunate to be in DC for a conference the weekend before Veteran’s Day.
My wife took this photo while we were visiting the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial.

You guys!...how touching. The Wall has to be the most emotional place on Earth for folks of our generation...don't get there often due to geography, but every time I go the tears flow.

And Usary, please thank your wife for the beautiful pic.
