Today is Veterans Day. I went with my mom and my little sister, Helen to the Veterans Day parade in downtown Knoxville. Veterans Day is a day to honor people who have served in the military. There are some people in the military like Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. Some of the veterans in my family are my great grandfather, Papaw who served in WWII. My grandfather, Papa served in the Navy during Vietnam. He was on two different ships off of the coast of Vietnam during the war. My other grandfather, Granbob served in the Army National Guard for 30 years. I learned that we need to honor all people who serve in the military because they are fighting for our freedom. Freedom means we are free to worship God in our country and that is cool. I learned that other countries do not have the freedoms that we do because they have rulers who tell them what to do. But the only ruler that rules everyone is God.
A lady next to us offered to take this picture.
These guys were dressed as Patriots who fought during the American Revolution.
Here is "Uncle Sam" on a HUGE bicycle! Ha! Ha! Ha!
This is a big tank. Mom said they use these on sand.
Another big camouflage truck!
Look closely in the sky and you can see 4 Air Force jets flying over the parade.
ROCK ON!
