No patriotic poetry this year to mark the anniversary of The Day That Will Live in Infamy.
Instead, we spent midday at our Elks Club serving a Christmas Luncheon to ca. 40 American Vets of various ages and wars.
The Vets were grateful for the hospitality.
The Elks were grateful for the Veterans’ service.
Most were elderly.
Many were suffering the infirmities of age and/or disease.
There was music and food and fellowship.
It was good for them.
It was good for us.
Our keynote speaker related 7 December to the bombing of the Towers and the attack on The Pentagon and the attempted attack on the Capitol.
Sobering thoughts at this holiest time of year.
Lest we forget.
