Last night after a very nice reception compliments of John Deere we were given a tour of the monuments by Colin Woodall, NCBA VP of Government Affairs. Colin was great! How he is able to retain all the facts on every monument and historical site is beyond me. Very impressive indeed!
While walking through the World War II monument there is a wall of 4,000 stars and each star represents 1,000 fallen soldiers. The monument alone is enough to make your heart ache but when our group of cattlemen ranging from the young age of 24 to 55 took off their cowboy hats and showed their respect my eyes watered and my heart swelled with pride. It is truly an honor to be a part of such an elite group of respectful, honest and hard working men and women. Some of those on the hill could take a few lessons from this group! See you tomorrow!
