Veterans' Day Parade























These two gentlemen fought together during World War II in the area of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. The man on the right slept in a haystack with a goat one night because it was so cold. The other man took shelter in a barn. He heard something on the other side of the wall and figured it was a German soldier. He crept out to look and found a sow and her piglets. He slept with them that night to keep warm.

"These endured all and gave all that justice among nations might prevail and that mankind might enjoy freedom and inherit peace." ~Inscription at Normandy Beach
