| Waiting For Cue to Present Colors |
Before our son and his girlfriend arrived for a bike ride, we attended the Memorial Day service at the village green. Organized and presented by the Key B American Legion, it featured opening remarks by Mayor Mike Davey quoting Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, information from the Legion's historian about the project to locate sunken navy ships, and a keynote on justice, freedom and democracy by a young local judge who had served in Africa 4 years ago, interspersed with the "Star Spangled Banner", "America the Beautiful" and a reading of "In Flanders Field".
Reminded of how lucky we are, we joined our fellow Americans and headed for the beach.
