Dear Friends,
On November 11, 2010
at 11 AM, Josie and I will join other veterans and friends of veterans in
the Redmond Veterans Day parade.
We set this day aside
to honor all the men and women who have served and are serving our
country. I hope you will join us and your fellow Americans in
honoring all who have defended our freedoms and protected this great
nation. This is a great American patriotic day on which to wave a
Stars & Stripes flag and tell a veteran “thank you for your service.”
