It could have been anywhere. There are a few Remembrance parades in other states, as well. And each state remembers their regiment, so perhaps something was done while you were in one of those states. It could have been in honor of a completely different war, too.

I hope you are able to visit one day! It is one thing to read about it, but it is something else entirely different when you are able to visit the place you read about. You can also learn details you won't read about in any books, which is nice if you like the little details. :)

Thank you! :)

Boyds Bear is a company where they make all sorts of bear related merchandise, as well as throwing in a few other things. Most people love them because of the stuffed bears they make. I think there are three major stores/factories along the East Coast carrying the merchandise, as well as a few small businesses carrying a few of their products. It is fairly big around these parts.

I honestly don't care about how hot the guy is. I'm more interested in his personality and interests since I want to make sure we have something in common.
