Rainy weather canceled the official Veteran’s Day parade and celebration on St. Simons Island. However, a few of the truly dedicated decided to proceed anyway. Rain or shine, the patriotic marched on. Local resident Roger Peterson captured the moment with a few of photos below.

We are so thankful for all of the men and women in uniform who bravely serve our country. On a personal note, my little brother is now home from Iraq. For the first time in two years, he will spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with his family!
