God and American pride is still alive and well in my Grandkids' school.
My crew chief and I attended a real nice Veterans Day program put on by their elementary school. Sang the Anthem, said the Pledge, the kids sang a bunch of patriotic songs, then they had us Vets stand, introduce ourselves and tell a bit of what we each did. More than a few tears wet cheeks in the crowd. There was a WW ll vet who was a tail gunner on a B24 Liberator, flew 26 missions. In all it was a prideful display of Americanism that is sadly lacking in many parts of our wonderful country.
God Bless America and her people !
