Have you been along the Parade route?
I will add your Stars and Strips to this parade. You may leave a link to your photo in "comments". Please remember to add the location and a simple description, as well as, your name so credit may be given for the photo. You may email me with a photo and information. Thank you and I hope you will join me along the parade route.
Proud mom and dad...summer 2008...
Our flags ...
Grandma's flag...
**************************
Note #3/ Mother ... upon being/Marine Moms
perhaps if we hold on so tight
to each our smile
and laughter we laugh too loud
perhaps if we hug one more doubt
with arms that wrap round
old photographs and toads and baseball bats
we will stand unabashed
brazen
against the tide relinquished
form our own ebb and flow
perhaps if we kiss
each our cheek
we kiss the cheek of our sons marching

Dad sometime during WWII. Dad gave us all a Red Poppy every Veteran's Day. The one in the picture is the last one he gave me before he passed away.
My father-in-law ... sometime during WWII. Another Navy man! He and my dad had much to talk about.....
