Although I  don't have a personal connection in my family to any veterans; I still love going out to cover it because I have deep appreciation for the men and women who've served this country. 

I started out early around nine am for the first service hitting up two more before ending around three pm.   Encompassed below are a few pictures that I believe represent the day well. Enjoy.  -Jefferson L. Morriss
