Such a Wonderful Evening With My Heroes

I am such a fan of my heroes

Monday the 18th was a great night to share with the Mayor and Veterans of Rome for a presentation of "A Military Experience - A Parent's Perspective" at the Rome Art & Community Center.  In attendance were the Marine Corp League, a representative of the VFW Rome division and the Mayor of Rome.  Had invited many elected officials.  That's okay.  I got the best.  Joseph R Fusco Jr. is a Mayor passionate about his Veterans in the community in which he lives.

I have to admit, I am such a fan of my Heroes.  When I was at the Modern Day Marine Expo last year, one of the Marines that have been so special to me, retired St Maj Joe Houle, USMC is one of the coordinators. Every morning there was a special event before the tents were opened.  He would come and get me and I thought I would just sit in the bleachers to view the events.  Joe would escort me to the tents.  I remember him whispering, "Go sit up there in the front".  I remember walking up front, only to discover that I was sitting 7 seats away from the Commandant of the Marine Corp with a front row center seat to see the Presidents Own Marching Band and the Silent Drill team.  How cool is that!  With every event I attend, I feel unashamedly a fan toward all my heroes

Bill Magnarelli and John DeFransico were working on budget issues in NY and Dan Maffei and Chuck Schumer were involved in other commitments in Washington. I will get a little closer to them next month and more Veterans with the Hope for the Warrior's Gala Affair in Washington DC.  Thank you my Veterans for all you have done.  It is such an honor to humbly share my best with my heroes.

Thank you to all who I have share with so far and God Bless my heroes.

More to come America!  More to come.
