The pictures went on and posted the last pictures of the banquet first and this mornings pictures last. Didn't want to let me change them so just keeping them like this.

Sawyer was the speaker for the evening and did an amazing job for a 9 year old

                                           A very nice 91year old man having his picture taken with Sawyer.  He was in the Marines when he was 19.  He fought for our country, yet where he was stationed, they wouldn't let him eat in the restaurant with the white soldiers.  So sad and hard to comprehend.  He was such a kind gentleman to talk to and didn't seem bitter about it at all.

Got up with Bill and made him breakfast and coffee before he left for the Marine Corp. Rally in Flint.  I went shopping and then went to Jack's basketball game.  Melissa, Bruce, Evan and Hailey were there.  They won their game.  Evan was cute.  I gave him a dollar and he went to buy something and came back with two blueberry muffins for me instead.  It was so sweet of him and he was so excited about getting them for me.  Melissa and I each ate one.  I gave him another dollar to spend on himself and he got popcorn.  It was on sale now, so he got two gatorades and gave one to Luke and one to Daniel.  He sure is a giver!  I came home and ate and then went to Isaac's game.  He is really catching on to the game now, and did really good.  Love watching the grandkids play sports.  Bill came home to relax.  I was happy because I was going to drive down to Birch Run to meet him so he wouldn't have to drive all the way home.  Vikki was sweet and offered and was going to drive me there in her car so Bill and I could ride home together.  Now it worked out nice because I can just ride with him to the Banquet.  It's a formal banquet, so we have to dress up.  Bill came home and had a chance to relax before we left for Flint.  Right before we left, we found out Roy fell and broke his hip joint.  He will be having surgery on Monday, and should be home on Wednesday.  So thankful Amy and Dennis Ward were there when it happened so Amy could stay with Marie and Dennis could go with Roy.
Marie has been sick since last June and Roy has been so good and kind taking care of her.  I am going to spend the day and night with Marie tomorrow.  The banquet was very nice.  Little Sawyer was so sweet and so very kind to all the veterans.  She has done much during her little life ministering to veterans and showing how thankful she is for them.  She has spoke to congress, to Homeland Security, and has received the Presidential award 4 times.  She walked 12 miles for Suicide Awareness for Veterans and did 22 pushups for 22 days.  It was amazing listening to all that she has done for our veterans. Her brother is a Marine and that is what started her doing this.
