Meeting the Vets">Meeting the Vets

I hope you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend and that you remembered to honor our troops. My husband and I went up to the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace because they had an open house and a choir who was slated to sing at 2 PM. We didn’t stay to hear the singers, mainly because we arrived 2 hours early, but we did get the opportunity to meet with some of the Vets from the local American Legion chapter in Yorba Linda.

I learned about red poppies as they had some of those to sell, that wounded vets had made in the VA hospitals. I also got to meet 4 vets who were there and talked to them briefly about their service and what they are doing now.

It was a great time remembering the troops that are in the war today, and also thanking those elderly vets who served so that I could be free.

I want to encourage you to check out your local American Legion and see what you may do to get involved.
