A Memorial To A Proud Generation

Gents,

In America we celebrate Memorial Day as a remembrance of those who have died while Airshow 15 marine planeserving in the armed forces. Recently we attended an airshow that had many vintage warplanes and veterans. It was refreshing to see the older veterans at the event walking around with tremendous pride. It was not arrogance but confidence that was birthed on the field of combat and a simpler time.

Not only were there vintage planes and individuals but also a few cars. Everything was a testament to craftsmanship and airshow 15 old car and planededication to quality. Touching the rivets of a war bird  was magical and realizing that women were the major workforce in the 1940’s (aka Rosie the Riveter!) must not be forgotten.

It does not matter what country you originate from or reside in because every homeland has veterans. The politics and ideology may differ but the fact remains countries armed forces are Airshow 15 man hand on chestserved by their residents.

One individual in particular caught my eye as he stood stoic during the national anthem. The music abruptly stopped but he stood frozen and did not move a muscle. I snapped a few pictures and noticed that his reverence for our country’s anthem and flag presentation was sacred. I wondered what his eyes have seen and what his hands accomplished. Each wrinkle and age spot defied the internet, social media and trends.

Many of the present styles and grooming of yesteryear have come front and center in society. It airshow 15 old man and flagis not uncommon to see individuals with hairstyles and clothing from the 1940’s or 1960’s but we must not forget the generations that forged the iconography that stands opposed to time.

Therefore, we tip our hats to the men and women from around the world who bravely fought and died for their country. Moreover, we honor the nostalgic styles that stand firmly on eternal grounds as a memorial.
