Richard’s Coffee Shop

ATT1

Mooresville, NC. Small town USA at its best.

ATT2

ATT3

Let’s go inside for a few moments. How does “smoke” get in your eyes when no one is smoking? Many vets have been to that wall and cried with their hand in that same position.

ATT4

You don’t have to drive thousands of miles to say thank you and get a glimpse of what our Veterans have done for us.

ATT5

ATT6

These guys didn’t receive these decorations for “showing up”.

ATT7

And who’s dream was this

ATT8

Mr. Robert Warren, Chopper Pilot in Nam. Died three years ago from complications of Agent Orange. He made it his mission to “Welcome all Veterans”. First “Welcome” some from Vietnam had ever received. They came today to honor this man and his dream.

ATT9

(I don’t have to list names because I’m not a real reporter), just a thankful citizen. And I am thankful. They remember. (How could they ever forget)

ATTA

This was a very special day for them and us.

ATTB

The memories can be painful.

ATTC

All of their rides tell a story. (look at the tag)

ATTD

Some paid a higher price than others.

ATTE

We can learn a lot from these men.

ATTF

Like, respect for our Flag and National Anthem. But more than that. A love for God and Country that can’t be hidden. It shines through in their lives and their service to others.

ATT10

That example was not lost on the Mooresville HS ROTC Color Guard.

ATT11

ATT12

ATT13

ATT14

 The passing of the Guard.

ATT15

ATT16

I don’t know these guys, but I owe them, and I love them.

ATT17

Lots of “smoke in the room”. Thank you Veterans. Small town USA . . . . I think not. On a side note . . . Some of you have aged a lot more gracefully than others

ATT18

Oh, and my favorite ride . . .

ATT19
GOD BLESS AMERICA ! And GOD BLESS OUR VETS, PAST AND PRESENT, That we still have an America!

Don’t let “any” government take that away
from us, and our future generations!
