VHA HoeDown

[dbussone]

The VHA held an event at the Polo Fields today. It was really well done, and the entertainment covered all age groups - kids to Villagers. I hope it becomes an annual event.

I was lucky to be able to work this event. I also hope it continues.

Even when the rain came... people didn't want to leave and stayed standing under the pavilion to enjoy the music!

I thought it was a hoot! Great authentic costumes, fun skits, "shoot em up" action....a little Florida history of being the first "Wild West"! A fun day!

properly salute the flag when the National Anthem is played/sung. It was very noticeable, especially with so many veterans in the Villages.?

How do you identify veterans not saluting?

Probably by the hat they are wearing. Perhaps I should have made it clearer and made it ALL men.Geesh!!

Saluting the flag isn't a veteran RULE. Its something they can do. With 31 years, I prefer to put my hand over my heart and like in a church I always remove a hat. So you don't think I am full of BS... the law


Section 301(b)(1) of title 36, United States Code, is amended by striking subparagraphs (A) through (C) and inserting the following new subparagraphs:
``(A) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note;
``(B) members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform; and
``(C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart;
