The St. Patrick's Day Parade was delightful this year... one of the most awesome "FREE" events that our citizens enjoy....
My favorite moment was seeing this Flag wave above the crowds and taking a moment to really appreciate being an American... taking a pause to remember those who've gave all along the way.... As this flag waved high and mighty, citizens walked about hastily seeking their next destination. Spectators were all over the Soldier's Monument near the flag. Police were frenzying around the area reacting to countless little disturbances and the firemen where busy hoisting the flag. Meanwhile...my little Angel played her mini plastic trumpet endlessly while the chaos around us seemed to fade. For a moment, I told her to stop playing that thing; but soon I realized that her enamored play was but the beauty of it all...
May God Bless.
