I'll let my brother know. He's in Slidell, and retired military, and I'm sure he'll enjoy.

Thanks for the post, I cannot make it but that should be a great event.

As as a related issue, most people do not know this but in NE Ohio there is the village of Clinton, Ohio. Within the boundaries of the Park is the Ohio Veterans Memorial Park. It was built and supported completely with private money and donations. There is a permanent "Wall" there, like the wall in DC, only a bit smaller. A recent addition was the 32,000 dog tags hanging from the ceiling in tribute to the Ohio veterans who lost thier lives in service since WWI.

If passing through Northern Ohio, it is a very peaceful and wonderful tribute to our vetereans.

While there, and not far away, maybe 15 miles, is the Western Reserve National Cemetary in Rittman, Ohio, like Arlington, reserved for our Vets.

Thank you,
