Nice Tribute to the Fallen 13 at Our Local Dirt Track Last Night
Our local track is known for being pro military. A few weeks ago, they had a "Veteran's Night" were all veterans and there spouses were given free admission.
It was also a fundraiser for the local Disabled American Veterans chapter. There were silent auctions, raffles and a fun "push up challenge" where each feature winner was challenged to do pushups and people pledged $1.00 per pushup (cost me over $200.00). Well last night, they had the top 13 feature qualifiers do parade laps while carrying the American flag to the sounds of Toby Keith's "American Soldier" https://youtu.be/FAlj1ccQXf4 As a 6 year Viet Nam Era vet and with our grandson currently serving in the Marine Corp - it was an emotional and appreciated tribute. Please keep politics out of this and just honor the fallen. |

Very nice- it is good to see that there are still businesses and organizations that are pro-military. They do not get enough exposure in my opinion.

There was a candlelight vigil here in Kalispell at the park downtown. Nobody from any opinion turned it political and that to me was the best respect possible for the fallen. The pictures were moving and wish I would have went.

Every week, we start with an invocation by a member of "Racer's for Christ" followed by the National Anthem while a racer or racers do a parade lap carrying the flag.

Likewise the have a deep respect for those that have served in the military and usually offer military discounts to veterans, and active military personal. Nice tribute that they gave to the fallen 13 at your track, Champ...... |
