Here are a couple more from that day:

I'm still trying to get a decent shot of the Color Guard. Every time
I get a good shot lined up, someone steps in front of me, and blocks
it. I did get a few of Governor Charlie Christ at the park, the day he
declared it as the finest in the State of Florida, and one of the
finest, in all of the US.

Politicians! Even when they say the *right* thing, it has a sleaze
factor.
He's probably right, but coming from a politician... ;-)


At least HE showed up. There was supposed to be a letter, and a
Plaque from our Prez when the park was dedicated, but neither arrived.
maybe they needed more notice? We did finish the park in just 10 years,
after all.


LOL Maybe the next president will do it...

If you and your husband are ever up this way, you should visit the
park.


Hubby loves historical stuff like that. I'll try to remember to suggest
it
the next time we visit my relatives.


It's worth the visit, but make sure you wear comfortable shoes,
because it takes a couple hours to see everything.

Like the Biltmore mansion.

BTW, we are having our quarterly memorial for Marion County
Veterans
who have passed on, in the last 90 days. It will be this Saturday
morning at the Veteran's park. There are about 200 names read,
every
quarter.


And you'll have pix? :-)


I plan on it. I miss some of them, due to my failing health. Some
days I can barely stand, let alone walk.

Oh, bummer! Anything fixable, may I ask?


Well, the VA awarded me 100% disability two weeks after I applied.

:-( That makes it even more remarkable that you're doing so much, though.
