Yesterday,
And then return to the bus with a police escort off the Pentagon grounds, that put us on to 395 north to Baltimore. We stopped for lunch on the way home to Baltimore. OH! one female sailor fainted in the sun and I watched how they removed her from the parade ground.

I went to the Pentagon on Friday morning with some friends. We left from the VA hospital in Baltimore City, on a VA bus and were driven to the steps of the Pentagon. We remained seated while a dog entered our bus to check for illegal drugs.
(The only drugs on that bus were Coumadin and Aspirin, in my opinion. )
As we each exited the bus, a young soldier, sailor or marine offered his arm and escorted each of us to seats at the parade grounds. So much to see in that hour. It ended with a fly - over and began with musical performances plus a contingent of service men from each of the services. In dress uniform. A talk by the Charirman of the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of Defense. A beautiful invocation and a March-in-Review. At the far edge of the parade ground were flags from every state of the union, held aloft by service men. (The only drugs on that bus were Coumadin and Aspirin, in my opinion. )
Lots more that it is impossible to describe without your actually being there. I can't wait to go again next year on NATIONAL POW/MIA DAY.
