Reflections of Veterans Day 2007, what a beautiful day for a parade filled with warm hearts and good friends paying tribute to our Nations Veterans past and present.

Upon seeing the flag, we marvel each time anew, while at the same time reflecting on the episodes of our life in which its presence has become permanently etched into our consciousness. Against sparkling bright blue skies, Old Glory continues to meet new challenges at home and abroad. It has inspired great acts of valor, personal sacrifice and devoted service from many.

So it is with great pride and love of country, that we assembled together this November morning to honor those men and women who have served in our Armed Forces - as well as those who are still serving - both here and abroad. With warm hearts and pride, we thank these veterans for preserving the freedoms we hold so dear. Whether it is from our own experience, friends, acquaintances or family, these memories will always promote the deepest power. and we will never forget. To all our veterans, we salute you.
