A Singing Treasure

American Legion Post 54 float

Anniversaries are most often thought of as happy. Not in this case, for it is the 100th anniversary of the beginning of 

World War I.  That is hard to comprehend. 



In honor of Veteran's Day, Bruce, my husband, and I rode on the American Legion Post 54 float in our local Fernandina parade.  It was so wonderful to hear the crowds cheer and wave, some with their hands over their hearts, some saluting, all shouting  a sincere thank you for your service to the veterans.



After the parade, we went to Post 54.  Bruce is the chaplain there and I am a member of the Auxiliary.  We ate delicious pulled pork sandwiches in the canteen then went into the hall to hear a young man sing patriotic songs.  What a delight ten-year-old Joshua Barber was and is.  He has overcome severe health issues and is a living inspiration.  He touched our hearts with his love for
America.

Here's to all veterans and active duty military. 

God is forever with you.
