The eldest of the Bentley clan participated in a Veteran's Day ceremony at Wal-Mart with his JROTC class, then was served cake. Later he helped serve lunch at the local VFW, where he hobnobbed with the local dignitaries, and greeted veterans from the VA hospital, including veterans from Pearl Harbor, the Battle of the Bulge, and Vietnam. He then got to eat some BBQ. Also, he greeted members of the Patriot Guard. I believe he was suitably impressed, even if I did accuse him of just going so he could cut class and get food.
