Richard's Coffee Shop Mooresville, NC

Richard's Coffee Shop

Mooresville, NC. Small town USA at its best.

Let's go inside for a few moments.
How does "smoke" get in your eyes when no one is smoking?

Many vets have been to that wall and cried with their hand in that same position.

You don't have to drive thousands of miles to say thank you and get a glimpse of what our Veterans have done for us. 

These guys didn't receive these decorations for "showing up".

And who's dream was this

Mr. Robert Warren
Chopper Pilot in Nam .
Died three years ago from complications of Agent Orange.

He made it his mission to "Welcome all Veterans"
First "Welcome" some from Vietnam had ever received

They came today to honor this man and his dream.

(I don't have to list names because I'm not a real reporter)

Just a thankful citizen. And I am thankful.
They remember. (how could they ever forget)

This was a very special day for them and us.

The memories can be painful.

All of their rides tell a story. (look at the tag)

Some paid a higher price than others.

We can learn a lot from these men.

Like, respect for our Flag and National Anthem.

But more than that. A love for God and Country that can't be hidden.

It shines through in their lives and their service to others.

That example was not lost on the Mooresville HS ROTC Color Guard.

The passing of the Guard.

I don't know these guys, but I owe them, and I love them.

Lots of "smoke in the room".

Thank you Veterans.
Small town USA . . . . I think not.

On a side note . . . 
Some of you have aged a lot more gracefully than others 

Oh, and my favorite ride . . . 

GOD BLESS AMERICA ! and GOD BLESS OUR VETS, PAST AND PRESENT, That we still have an America !

 

Don’t let “any” government take that away from us, and our future generations!
