Another Patriotic Performance

It was a cool and windy Memorial Day but for the most part, the rain held off... just long enough for hubby to golf with some friends and for Carter and his band-mates to put on another stellar patriotic performance.

 

This ceremony took place at the Forrest Hill Cemetery & Mausoleum in Wisconsin Rapids.

 

 I kept a closer eye on Carter this time so, yes, he was trapped by my camera lens!

Like yesterday, they had representatives from all branches of service plus auxiliaries. It was a very nice-sized crowd. They also mentioned some recent "boys" who had died in both Iraq and Afghanistan. So sad.

Once again, hearing Taps tugged at my heartstrings as I was thinking of my dad, who I mentioned had never been in the service. But it's just a sad-sounding song, so I thought of him lying in his hospital bed.

They had a laying of the peace wreath (I may have that wrong) on the memorial at the cemetery. That was neat.

Everyone appreciated the performance and I was proud to be part of the school community that provided it!

Hope you were able to thank someone today for their service in your own special way!
