On Saturday night, our little town celebrated Veteran's Day with a Retiring the Flag ceremony. I went over and got Big Papa out of the shop, he dusted the sawdust off and went in to get his "WWII Veteran" hat.

The ceremony involved lowering the flag at the firestation and placing it and about 20 other flags donated by townsfolk on a frame and burning them. It was a wonderful ceremony and I was pleased to see Big Papa participate. I wasn't sure that he would even go since he was still sore from kidney stones. He carried one of the donated flags with the Scout color guard to the burning site. You can see BP on the left side of the fire (he has a white paper in his vest pocket). I love living in this little Norman Rockwell town!!!
