Veterans Day 2013 at the National Mall

As I turned towards the WWII Memorial I could barely see the tops of some flags being carried, it was a procession so I hurried to see what was going on.

Taps was being played, people saluted and you could see them wiping away tears. The veteran you see in the wheelchair stood for photos with others.

I spoke to another veteran who educated me.....there wasn't going to be a WWII Memorial because the G.I. Bill was intended to be a living memorial for those who served.
