The vets were in perfect form along with all the uniformed services. Chappaqua was declared a Purple Heart Town. The bridge into town was dedicated to Army Staff Sgt. Kyu H. Chay who was born in South Korea, grew up in Mount Kisco, and died serving in Afghanistan.
The weather was perfect, beautiful, warm, and sunny. The Greeley High School band and the Kerry Pipers were in perfect and touching tune. Hillary Clinton was swarmed by admirers. A few long-time Hillary buddies showed up. Of course Maggie Mae, pup reporter, was on the scene with her mom and collaborator, Ronni Diamondstein, and channel 12 and channel 4 news. Ronni was interviewed by channel 4. Governor Cuomo, who lives there, was on Staten Island at another parade, and his opponent, Rob Astorino marched with Hillary.
It was a lovely, and special day.
How great is that. You got to meet her again. You both look great. Tell us more about your day. Thanks

Last year I got about eight minutes with her. This year it was only about three. It was hugely crowded and she was being pulled in every direction. She is always very sweet and accommodating.

Aw! I was wondering if you were going to make it to the parade again. I’m hoping her book tour takes her near my part of the U.S. so I can meet her in person.

We didn’t have any time for a conversation. Hundreds of people were all around waiting to see her too. She was very sweet. I asked if I could have another picture and she said “Certainly!” We went to a calmer spot. Her assistant took the picture, and I thanked him and her. She started to be pulled along to the next people who wanted a picture, and I touched her back, she turned around and I said, “Thank you … for everything!” She smiled, nodded, and had to go.

You know how sweet she is. She’s simply lovely. So many people were bombarding her with questions. She was so even-handed. A true democrat with a small “d”.
(Oh, I see! I can’t use the angle brackets for the grapheme “d” without the system thinking it’s html! Great! Warring sciences!)
