Happy Veterans Day!

I know that this is a day late, but I didn’t get the chance to yesterday.

Happy Veterans Day!

I got the honor to ride in the Ogden Veterans Day Parade this last Saturday. I had the chance to ride side saddle with an old friend of mine (which I was excited about). It was a slow moving parade so I was able to interact with the crowd. I let all the horse crazy girls pet my horse (his name is Shiki), ask about side saddling, and even my dress (which was much to big, but what can you do when you have to borrow). And because it was so slow I had a few chances to gallop up and down the parade route. That Was Fun!

It really was an honor to participate. I am very grateful to all those who've served, are serving, and will serve.

That is Cindy behind me in the red dress. She was the one who tought me how to ride.

I rode with the Utah 2nd Cavalry

It was late notice so I didn’t get the chance to invite people…I wish I had more familiar faces in the audience. Not even Adam, or my parents could make it.

My Aunt Gail and Uncle Earl who live in Ogden where able to come. She took the pictures for me.

My Gubby and grandma where there too…under much distress! Gubby doesn’t much like drawing attention to himself. He was supposed to ride on the Marine Veteran’s float but refused…that is until the float passed him sitting on the sidewalk with his Marine Corps hat on and was ordered by a superior officer to get on the float. He could refuse his wife, but there is no saying no to a comanding officer. They stopped the parade until he got on. It was good for him. He is the one with the red hat and the big smile. He is amazing.

Again

Happy Veterans Day!

I am truly grateful for the freedom we enjoy because of your sacrifices.
