The City of Heath should be very proud of themeselves. It's funny how life works, having been in those young men's shoes (a long time ago) all you really want to know is if "anyone" cares. I can tell you the answer today is a resounding "YES". I was so proud to be a part of this parade and to meet all of the young men and women serving our country.

The best part for me was Sgt. Delgado's little boy, he was about five years old and was wearing one one his dad's fatigue shirts' (pinned up to fit him). He was riding in the front seat between his dad's legs waving and throwing candy. Kristen had just given me a small model of a red Cobra, so I gave it him. WOW!! Did he love that. His dad told me that he, his wife and son will never forget this day.

I to would encourage call of our Codra brothers and sisters to "make a difference" in someone life, it will definately make a diffenence in yours.

Thanks Steve for inviting me. And Kristen? Well, you're just you, thanks for everything you are.
