Funny thing is, when we entered WV yesterday, we had a state police escort and all the potential dangerous intersections were blocked by various LEOs, for our safety/benefit.
What I did not expect were the cops whose only duty was to *salute* us as we rode by.
And they saluted with obvious, genuine emotion.
That kinda choked me up.
There are good cops, too.
I wish I’d been able to drive *and* take pictures.
They had a huge crane with an even huger flag hanging from it, with soldiers standing in perpetual salute, as well.
That was sure something.
Stopped reading there to brush at something that got in my eye, and then to post my apologies for not reaching out through cyberspace to squeeze you in an affectionate hug. I know how salamanders really don't take too well to being squeezed and hugged ...!!!
GOD BLESS YOU FOR SHARING THAT. Now back to reading the rest of your post.
