Returning the Salute



I've been blogging here for over three years. Often I cover events over and over, hoping to find a new focus.  This was my third Veteran's Day Parade, and while it's a wonderful event for my city, I wondered if I could capture anything different this year.  As luck would have it, I met up with a Viet Nam veteran that I remembered from last year ( on the left).  We reconnected and as we stood near each other during the parade,  I was able to watch as the passing servicemen, young and old, give him a salute.  The special moment I was looking for.
