We looked for you all day.. you would think from the coverage
that among those 8 or 10 folks there we should have found you.
We got there a little late, just prior to the start, and I walked around looking for the MOAB. I figured that would be the easiest thing to spot, but didn't see that either. When I saw Petroni I asked about you guys and he told me y'all were walking around and assured me we'd all meet up sometime. HA!
Then of course, the heat kept pounding at us all - even through the top of that tent - and I kept looking down at those small pebbles we stood on. I was mostly concentrating on trying to keep my face from doing a dive into those rocks! From then on, I just kept trying to see where the EMS guys were, in case I needed oxygen.
Even though I'm disappointed that we missed a meet-up, I'm grateful we could all be there to honor our bravest and finest American Troops and that we made such a strong showing.
