Happy Veteran's Day .. Phoenix Veteran's Day Parade 2015

Getting ready... this was the back of the float I stood by the American Flag and  Sal stood on the other side by a POW flag





The 101st capture the Nazi flag!



My sweet student




Capturing the Nazi flag
The real Nazi flag capture from D Day 















While at the parade our munchkins were having a blast with Nana NY
 Sal and I were asked to be on a float for the Phoenix Veteran's Day Parade.. Such an honor! We were on the Patriot Youth Corps float.. it was an amazing day that started at 7am and ended about 3... I took a student in my current class that is ranked as Captain which is the highest level one can attain in my class and this special girl already is at the top, so her parents were honored that I asked her to come with us... what fun it was!  Very emotional to say the least. 45,000 people came out to the parade and to honor all the people who have served and are serving our country to protect our freedom... it was a priceless experience that Sal and I will never forget.
