the sherwood merrywalkers presents the great easter egg hunt  -  sherwood,  Saturday 3/31

It felt good to feel patriotic, but those poor people in the parade, they were soaked to the bone.  First we walked through the cemetery and checked out the blue flags on the graves, which turned out to be Medal of Honor recipients.  We walked through some nice neighborhoods and through Clark College before finally getting to Officer's Row.  Candice and Sandra hadn't been down there yet, so we walked all the way down to the end and then the rain started.  We found shelter under a tent put up by the city for visitors to view the parade.  Veterans gave out flags and we waved them as the bands went by.  The bagpipes are always a treat, but it felt good to be there in support of our people that serve in our military.  I've been privileged to walk through the American Cemetery in Normandy and I remember viewing the guestbook.  Many of the entries were from Europeans passing through.  They would not only sign their names, but they would list their country and their comments were always "Thank you."  Check out the rest of the pictures.
