Another Reason We Love Boise...

A Veteran's Day Parade in beautiful Downtown Boise was a perfect way to honor Veterans everywhere. The courage a veteran shows will always boggle my mind. I am so thankful for them and all they are willing to sacrifice for us and our great country.

I loved watching Jack follow his dad's example by removing his hat every time a flag passed, and LOTS of flags passed!

I must say, the Marines definitely stood out. They were the only group who marched in step, not moving any other parts of their bodies. They looked fantastic - and I'm not just saying that because my husband is one!! :)

Oh, and there was also a BSU home football game that day, which made the feeling downtown even more fun! Jack had his football in hand and wanted to hold it up for the last picture. :)

To my very favorite veteran... you continue to teach me and our children every day through your incredible passion for our real life heroes who too often go unnoticed. Thank you Chip!

And for those of you reading this who may have served, or have supported someone who did, ...thank you too!
