Drums and guns. Veterans. Firemen and their trucks. The mayor. Kids on bikes. A band. A color guard. People lining the streets, waving flags to remember those lost, those returned, and those who fought so we can porch sit on a sunny Monday morning appreciating a small-town parade. Life here in America isn't perfect, but is still -- all things considered -- pretty darn good. Thank you soldiers, wherever you are.
