Well, Veterans Day turned out pretty neat here in Canyon Lake. Mountain Valley Middle School hosted local veterans for a luncheon. I attended as one of several vets from the Lions Club and had lunch with the sixth graders. There were about 20 of us.
We arrived and signed in with our rank and branch of service. After lunch we were each introduced... "Captain Conger"... Two introductions were "Master Sergeant Huffman, and Master Sergeant Huffman" a married couple.
The kids whooped it up and applauded every introduction. Then they had a drawing for a couple of door prizes. I was one whose name was drawn. When the two of us went up to get our prizes, we were told that we had a choice. The first option was a certificate for a free haircut from a local barber. Since both of us had the same hair-style, we demurred and chose another option.
It was a fun time for all.
