Jeremy & Nick with Colonel "Bud" Day
On Thursday night we went to an event at Jeremy's work called Gathering of the Eagles which is basically a big BBQ honoring a bunch of living war heroes that came and spoke during graduation week to his class. There were people from WW 2, Vietnam, Korea, and some of the current conflicts. The boys got to meet Colonel Bud Day who is a medal of Honor recipient from World War 2. It was truly a great honor to meet him and introduce our kids to him. There is no greater lesson I want to instill in my kids then their everday freedoms came at a price and still do come at a great price to many. We also got to show them the plane that Jeremy's Grandpa flew in World War 2 which was very cool for the boys to see. Despite Aidan having a major meltdown and not wanting to leave we had a wonderful evening.
