Memorial Day

The local VFW post #3308 has a cemetary in Wakulla County, so we all met out there at 11:00 o'clock in the morning for a service for Memorial Day. It was bright, sunny and pretty hot. A local ROTC color guard was there, and they had a rifle salute and played taps. I was proud to be there, proud to be able to honor people who had died in service to the United States. Recently, I heard someone commenting that when service members are sworn in, they swear to uphold the constitution of the United States, not allegiance to a particular person or political party, but to a document.
