Emotional Day

" Thank You "


That was the message of the day
yesterday.
  I'm wrung out
from the sheer emotion
of it.






Sure,
nice things happen every day 
here in Waikiki










Parades here are commonplace












But yesterday, 
the parade was for these guys













The "Go For Broke"
WWII Veterans of Hawaii













Men who fought fascism overseas













and prejudice at home,


Defeating them both
















This month 
they were awarded the
Congressional Gold Medal. 


They were already
the most decorated unit 
in US military history. 

Even if you usually don't click on videos, 
do  watch the video below about the Vets
and about the day.

  It was a beautiful day to say "Thank You" 
to REAL HEROES!  




Thank YOU for kindly visiting here. 

It really means a LOT!
