Branson Veterans Parade November 11, 2006

We stopped for lunch and there was a church school at the end of the parking lot.

Teacher asked if the kids could look at Buf. I said we would open it up after we had

lunch. They were thrilled. First kid said: "I'm gonna join the air force!" One girl, about 12-13

said that she couldn't understand why here uncle always watched the military and history

channels. Upon seeing inside Buf she said: "Now I understand, this is exciting!"

We have a great recruiting tool, to bad the air force doesn't realize it.

Yes, that's Pat Boone. He road in Buf during the parade. He is really a very nice guy.

The other guys are a singing group called "Valor" that Pat is promoting. He also has

brought out a new documentary about the national guard. Very interesting.

I'm holding down the "fort" as we wait to get going.
