We just returned from the concert. It was
Guy and Ralna, of the Lawrence Welk Show, Present a Tribute to Our Veterans

Many patriotic songs and tributes. The color guard from all the branches of the military were presented as the song for each branch was sung. They asked the vets in the audience to stand for their branch; quite nice, SO many in the Navy; well we ARE on the ocean!

Guy sang two solo songs back to back, one a tribute to the tattered flag, the other "I'm Proud to Be an American." (You probably know both songs as I did, I'm just not sure of the titles.) He was so choked up by the middle of the second song that he had to stop and Ralna came on to finish the set.

The RI WW II Memorial was dedicated today as well; we will go see that during the week. They ran out of funding and had to stop work on it for a few years. All finished, now!
