Veterans Day 2008 — Yes we can!

I work in midtown Manhattan, on Fifth Avenue. I just went out to pick up some lunch and watched a little of the Veterans Day parade go by. I felt overwhelmed with gratitude for our President-Elect.

Yes we can bring our soldiers home to their loved ones.

Yes we can do a better job of supporting our military families.

Yes we can provide top notch healthcare to all vets and their families, but particularly to the returning wounded.

I know there’s much more, but that’s just off the top of my hormone addled head.

After I brought my lunch back to my desk, I grabbed my camera and went back downstairs.

Love this one. Here's a close up.

"Yes We Can!" I think you found your new mantra and I, for one, LOVE IT!

We went to lunch too and they had a tv at the little place we picked. (the girls are off school today) Anyway, they were glued to it...not surprising since we don't have one - but I looked up and say the most amazing image. President Bush and President Elect Obama standing side by side. It was overwhelming!

Yes we can! It is such a powerul sentance. Thanks for sharing your Veterans Day pictures. I'm glad they celebrate vets somewhere in this country. I feel like they are an afterthought sometimes where I live. Nothing happened around here today. Everyone just went to work as usual.
