Neither my husband nor I saw your sons. We were so busy trying to keep our two-year-old grandson from climbing all over the bleachers (and making lots of new acquaintances in the process) that between him and the rally, our attention was pretty well taken up.

My husband was one of the few veterans who stood up in our immediate area. We were taking turns holding up a large flag.

There was a family behind us with several children including a little boy about my grandson's age and a young couple sitting in front of us with an older woman in a black coat.

That's about all I can remember as far as the people in our immediate vicinity is concerned.

When all the veterans stood up, I told my 7-yr-old son to look around at all the men and women who have served our country. He was in awe. A wonderful moment.
