The best event in D.C., hands down, is the evening parade at the Marine post at 8th and I. It’s held every Friday during the summer, it’s free and you don’t need reservations. It is a very moving event.
Yes, I have taken my Grandson. Most Fridays for 6 years in the summer I was at Walter Reed Hospital Rally so it was not possible to do both.
I wonder if that contributes to his desire to be a Marine and to play in his school Marching Band and now Jazz Band too. He is working on his Eagle Boy Scout project...16 years old now and a really nice boy.
I have a fine granddaughter 21 and in college. She is a bone marrow donor and active in a breast cancer group too.
My smallest granddaughter (10) is starting to show all the same kindness to others. She understands Obama and redistribution of wealth. During his first campaign she told anyone who would listen: “He is not going to give my dad’s money to people who won’t work! AND he is not getting any of my toys either!”
Three different families and each one child...can you tell I am proud of them? LOL
Agreed, and to hell with the umbrellas
