It turned out to be a far greater event than I was expecting! Did a lot of talking and visiting. Almost 200 vehicles there. Because the Jackson County Fairgrounds are owned and operated by the combined Legion/VFW, I also put on my Legion Hat and helped out -- We (members of the combined VFW Post 6073 and Legion Post 30) did a National Anthem salute and flag folding ceremony for the assembled crowd (easily more than several hundred people). Slipping back into my MOS, I served as narrator wink It was very motivational to hear from members of the audience that they had never witnessed a flag folding ceremony before and that it was very moving. Very much fun to narrate for a crowd like that.

And ... I even met a Stovebolter!!! Hopefully he'll chime in here.

Pics!!!! ....
