Today, our local high school celebrated Veterans Day with a big assembly in the football stadium. I drove my M37 and parked it in the small gravel lot overlooking the gate. Of the 75 or 80 vets that showed up, only a couple seemed to know what it was. All the rest are now too young--even the recently retired guys never saw one on active duty. Needless to say, there were questions. Since we are home to the US Army Ranger mountain phase training post and have a cadre of active duty Army with the ROTC units, it was still a surprise.
The kids were very respectful and put on a great program--speakers, chorus, band, and closing with "Taps". I'm glad some of us can show them a real piece of history, while we can still remember.
