So I swing into the legion to check on the time for the parade tomorrow, sitting on the stool across the bar is an old friend, he looks different, I sit and chat with him over a beer, to find that he is sick, I say sick? yup he said sick I have cancer, damn!
after chatting a bit longer, I said I will see you tomorrow yes? he said Gnaw I'm too tired and weak to walk and no offense all I see are WW2 vets sitting in that Beautiful truck it's just not for me, I said really? that is not what I see?
He said well what do you see?
I replied simply I see a veteran who can't walk a parade route who deserves to be honored.
So I'll see you at 0900 tomorrow ware your dress uniform,
I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.
