Congrats to Siouxan on another successful pageant! I wasn't able to make the pageant. Matt and I didn't get home from Rolling Thunder2009 - what an incredible experience!
I am exhausted and sweaty but what an honor to participate. I did wear my banner and several people asked me about it. I proudly told them about the pageant and my platform of supporting the troops. I had a terrific experience eating lunch with three Viet Nam veterans. I thanked them for their service. They told me that hardly any "young" people even acknowledged their efforts. They were so adorable! As cute as they were, I couldn't help but be in awe of them.
They were fully festooned in their leather riding vests, completely covered in patches and pins that tell their story of service and love for our country. So many veterans give of their time, effort and finances to participate. This is especially moving when so many of them are retired and lving on fixed incomes. May God bless them for their love of freedom!
