Shaw Girl Happenings

We had a beautiful day for Memorial Day. The school marches in two different parades to 2 different cemetaries, participating in 2 memorial services. Matthew, taking a break from his bassoon, played the quad drums. Katie had a demanding job as colorguard. After marching (all uphill to the first cemetary) she had to stand at attention throughout the services. In the first she held the gun, an easy job. In the 2nd service, she held the flag, in a strong breeze, for over an hour. After the service, a verteran who was honored that morning for his service in WWII (including 3 years in a POW camp) made a point to thank her for the respect she showed the flag through the long service. That helped her aching back to feel better!
