This morning I attended the Veterans Appreciation Ceremony at Walnut Grove Middle School in Midlothian, TX. Perhaps as many as 100 veterans were in attendance. Vets from WWII through today including one from the British Army were there. I met at least one from each war era but the one that impressed me the most was LtCol Jerry Singleton USAF Ret. Col Singleton was a Jolly Green Pilot in VietNam. He said that he was in Vietnam from 1965 - 1972. When I probably looked perplexed he explained that on one of the SAR missions they were shot down and only three on board survived and were subsequently taken prisoner to North VietNam. He knew my last Group Commander, LtCol Connie Trautman who was also a POW. If anyone knows anyone associated with this school tell them thanks. BTW, at one point in the program the students recited the Decloration of Independence aloud from memory.
