COT
Thank you to Flounder and Johnny on the Pot for serving in the military. Johnny on the Pot is still serving in the National Guard and will be out for the next two weeks protecting our country! We welcomed FNG Greenich to the fold! Welcome! He did great!
This Sunday at 6pm, Veterans park will host hundreds of vets with a special program to honor them. I will be singing patriotic songs with a 100 man choir from Southeast Christian Church. We always end with a melody honoring all five branches, so it is a great way to honor these men and women who sacrificed so much.
Last year, I met a man who served in Korea. He was barely awake in his wheelchair, but he had his military hat on and I knew his service was one of the reasons why my family is free and immigrated to this great country!
Ended with prayer. Can’t wait for Sunday! Please try to be there if you have ever posted at the Vet!
Peace,
Drysdale
