A beautiful ceremony tn Rockport to honor our fallen heroes.
Good evening, my friends,
Yes, we were privileged to attend a wreath-laying ceremony to honor our war dead at Rockport Memorial Gardens in downtown Rockport. The military band for Corpus Christi and Rockport played military marches and had much the same ceremony as I described for the one they held at the VFW on Saturday.
The Commandant for Rockport/Fulton High School Navy ROTC gave a stirring speech telling the large crowd how this small community has celebrated Memorial Day for more than 25 years without interruption.
There was also a missing man/empty space at the table ceremony that brought tears to my eyes along with many others. Quite a stirring sight and portrayal of our POW/MIAs.
We both hope you had a wonderful day, courtesy of our brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom to do as we please on Memorial Day. We do hope you took just a moment in your busy “day off” to pause and say, “Thank You!”
God bless America!
Until next time,
Vaya con Dias, my friends,
Karl & Carol
