The
Plan; Get
all our Gold Star Parents together on this special day that we also
lost three of our brothers.
This day is for Family and
Remembrance and "WE ARE FAMILY!"
In
my dreams our active duty troops were participating in the Salute to
Veterans Air Show, the Fast Attack Nuclear Submarine USS Columbia was
mored in the Missouri River and the Commander was presenting flags to
our Families. Our Families were honored at the Air Show
Banquet,
Special Guest of the Air Show, and riding the VFW Float in the Parade
to the Courthouse Ceremony and 21 Gun Salute to the Families.
It
would end with another Memorial Ceremony at the VFW, Feast, and The
Meagan Boyer Band........ in my dreams
In actuality,
the only active duty troop was Tim Davis's sister, Noel Carroll, the
USS Columbia was a "no show due to real time mission requirements", I
severed our relationship with the air show people, the parade was
rained out, and the only ceremony at the VFW was giving away a John
Wayne Rifle and Case to Spencer Ernst, A 1oz Gold Coin to code name
"Opossum", who just happens to be the same individual who donated the
John Wayne Rifle. Lynne Polofka won Dee Brawley's
CCT Quilt
and Sam Scoggins the Iron Wood Eagle Carving donated by Jill
McReynolds. Doug Kimme got the CCT Mirror donated by Joe
Edwards
while Willie Wood won the Eye of the Storm Print provided by Bill
Covington.
Nothing Went According To Plan,
WE DOWNSIZED AND HAD EVEN MORE FUN THEN PLANNED!

A huge part of the plan included
a fully stocked bar to include numerous gallons of Beer and Margaritas! |
