I spent this morning with my wife and son at a local cemetary where there was a Veterans Day Service , at the local Sailor and Soldiers Memorial .
It was one of the most fitting and moving services I have ever seen .
1st , local Cub Scouts , led the ceremony by saying the Pledge of Allegience .
Our Mayor welcomed one of Westchesters oldest WWII Vets who lived in the area , who was our Keynote speaker , as well as a local Vet who served 1 tour in Iraq and 1 tour in Afganistan . Both were recipients of Purple Heart Awards as well as many others ..
The Marines were the Honor Guard and did a 21 gun rifle salute to those who gave the ultimate gift to their country .
All in all , it was the most Respectful and Honorable Ceremony I have ever been priviledged to be a part of .
I'm all about our Military ... I want to give a very Heartfelt thanks to all who Honor , Love and Respect the Men and Women who serve this great country of ours ..
Thank you ...
