Van Drunen Heating Salutes Veterans






Monday, Van Drunen Heating had an entry in the "Wooden Shoe Parade" in South Holland. (I'm sure they call it something else now, but I'm old school.) The entry consisted of Keith driving the pick-up (good job if you can get it), Cher and Karen handing out magnets and coupons, Eric, Liz, Anneke, Justin and Kate handing out candy and the Nickster and me making sure no kids were crushed under the second vehicle.

The second vehicle was a restored "Half-track" Army vehicle. (Wheels on the front, tracks in the back). The half-track was carrying precious cargo in the form of World War II veterans. What an honor to meet these heroes and hear their stories as the gathered at Grandma and Grandpa's prior to the parade and once we reached the park.

Here are some pics:

I made such a big impact on my husband, he didn't even remember I was there. Next year I'll be the one whipping candy at him.
