We always go to an event in the morning at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Hollywood Hills Court of Liberty- perhaps L.A.'s most patriotic place, honoring veterans, with parachutists, a flyover of T-6 Texans, speeches from politicians and guests (the politician was pretty good this year!), a local high school ROTC did honor guard quite nicely, and music was provided by a couple of singers, a Pipes and Drums group, and the Band of the California Battalion, who along with the duet did a wonderful rendition of all four verses of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Then they give out free ice cream sandwiches afterward!

Bar-b-q'd beast, roasted broccoli, salad, a nice glass of red wine, sunset on my deck, and
a prayer for guidance.
