1. Big thanks to all that came out for the Veterans Day performance. I believe we had a larger turnout than usual as was the size of the audience and color guards (flag bearers). I spoke with Jack Staples, the MC, and he thanked us for doing a great job as usual. I thanked him for lining up guest speakers who did their part with interest and swiftness. The Veterans group appreciates us and has said that we definitely have a standing invitation for the future ceremonies.

2. Be aware of the next performance: Friday, Nov 17th - 7:00 pm

Argh! Another Veterans Day Ceremony; lose a morning, it's cold, seats are hard and speeches are long! Yet the Chattanooga Area Veterans Council thinks the Choo Choo Chorus adds to the Ceremony, and somewhere deep inside there is an obligation to surrender to the opportunity to honor those who fight and keep us safe. We sing the National Anthem, Armed Forces Medley and God Bless America, and the speeches inspire. I am ready to sing again next ear. Thanks to Linda Jesse for the top photographs. SteveW
