The Observation Deck

If you are a veteran of our Armed Forces, or know of a veteran, then please let them know that tomorrow morning (November 11th) at Lakewood Park, at 11 a.m., there will be a public program of remembrance at our city memorial, followed by a social get-together in the Womens' Pavilion.

Everyone, (and especially veterans and their families) would be most sincerely encouraged to attend this beautiful annual event.

By the way, Dad (Robert Rice- a WWII vet) and I wrote a Veterans' March this fall, and it was performed for the first time today at the Garfield Middle School Veterans' Day Observance. The Garfield 8th grade band and choral quartet combined to present the march's premiere performance in an outstanding and stirring presentation.

Dad and I had previously presented the march for the benefit of the American people, through Congressman Kucinich a short while ago.

Hi Gary,

I hope you and your dad are well. Will you guys be performing tomorrow?

Hi Jennifer,

We often set up and play for a bit in the Womens' pavilion after the main event, but there might be a Vietnam Vet show up tomorrow instead, who plays and sings a lot of good music; so we'll have to just see what tomorrow will bring!
