Memorial day in California,
I spent Memorial day celebrating Armed forces day in Torrance and they go all out for our military. I didn't know what to expect and only took a few shirts with me and they were so appreciated that I was struck by the humbleness of our active duty troops. Polite, humble and appreciative, those are the only words I can think of to describe them. I guess it's the all volunteer status but whatever it is these guys and gals are our nations finest. Another thing I saw that was interesting was a great number of 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles there. I kept coming across them everywhere I went. Not a part of the division anymore but they had served at one time and now serving in other units. Again these young troopers are carrying on the tradition making me feel very proud to still be wearing a "screaming eagle" even though it's only on a tee-shirt and hat.
Next year I want to have a booth there and hope to see all my friends there cheering on our troops and taking advantage of the city of Torrance hospitality.
