Default Veteran's Day in Denton, Texas

The Vietnam Veteran's Association Chapter 920 held a very moving and well attended Veteran's Day ceremony on the square in Denton, Texas. We parked our HMV's along the northside of the old courthouse while Bill and David Trantham brought out part of their extensive collection of functional weapons to display; MP34, MG42, M60, M2HBAR, Russian AK47, M16A1, and M79. The Denton County Sherrif's Department graciously volunteered to guard them during the ceremony. A piper played Amazing grace while Bobby Hawke flew his Huey overhead as poppies were handed out to all present by members of the Ladies Auxilliary, VFW Post 2205. Not only did I meet a fellow Canuck there, but he is a RCAF vet originally from Vancouver, my old home town. Small world.

CHEEMO!
