One of the great things about living in military communities over these many years are the celebrations. And it's not just Independence Day. We've been at Fort Riley a few months now and already there have been several occasions to celebrate and the Army does it in style as always, but the real fun is the way they involve the surrounding community and seeing the community embrace them. This Fourth of July parade was even more special because it was the first time my youngest had ever seen a parade that she remembers, and it was also the first parade my oldest was in. She is a cheerleader at Junction City High School and they marched in the parade. It turned out to be an absolute gorgeous day and I remembered what I use to love about small towns. Even if I am still a city girl at heart. Maybe this Kansas business won't be so bad. I think we really loved the horses! Hope you had a fantastic Fourth of July. Happy Birthday America!
