In a very real way, when part of the family serves in the military, the rest of the family serves in its own way. Cathy Wagner learned that, moving from one base to another with a dad in the Air Force.
For participants and spectators, the Veterans Day parade is pride on display, but gratitude too.
Miguel Gonzalez said, “Veterans and military personnel are out there, putting their lives on the line and we enjoy our freedoms because they’re out there doing that for us.”Gonzalez: “Yes Sir.”Westin Loreto says his family history helps him appreciate what people willing to fight for our country preserve for us all.
“My dad was a combat medic in the Army. I had uncles, I had numerous uncles, some great grampas and all kinds of family.” “Well, it's a sacrifice, you know, for the family as well. We lose time when they're deployed or they're off on assignment, and complications to be in at family events, things like that. But, you know, it's part of what the military families do. And so they're all in it together.”
And family members say even if they never signed up to fight for our country, they absorbed a sense of service that led them to find ways to serve the public in civilian life.
