Today my friend Art and I road in the local Veterans Day parade. Art served two tours in Vietnam as a UH-1 and cobra pilot and is now fighting a battle with cancer.
I was surprised at how quickly he accepted my offer to take him in the parade, he was really excited about being in the parade. Art told me that this was something that he never received when he returned from Vietnam.
So if you want to thank a veteran for their service and see a smile on their face give them a ride in the parade.
Be sure to bring lots of candy to pass out to the kids
