Virginia Is For Hansons

Matt was honored to be the guest speaker at the Bluefield, VA Veteran's Day ceremony. His cousin, Andy is a retired Green Beret and now Town Manager of Bluefield, and the two of them hadn't seen each other in 38 years! The parade and the ceremony were lovely - it was a small town, community affair. Kids were lined up on the streets catching candy and people were sitting out on their front porches waving their American flags. It was the perfect way to spend Matt's last Veteran's Day on active duty. It really was an honor for us both!  Col Andy Hanson (Ret) and Col Matt Hanson Andy and Matt led the parade on foot and I got to ride in the vintage car line in this beauty The VFW 9696 were wonderful hosts
