I went to the Veterans Day ceremony at the Fox Lake, Illinois, train station earlier this morning. There was a good-sized crowd there and the weather was sunny, fairly warm, but breezy. Very pleasant for this time of the year here in northern Illinois.
The American Legion rifle squad was also there as were several groups of Cub and Boy Scouts, the Sons of the American Legion and Legion Riders.
We had short speeches by the VFW, village president, Auxiliary and our American Legion Post 703 commandant. Jose said that last year he had gone around Fox Lake on Veterans Day while wearing his military cap and just one person, a kid, thanked him for his service. he asked the people assembled to go out of their way to thank every veteran they encountered.
Like He Said, Thank a Veteran Today and Any Day for That Matter.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
