I had the privilege to help the local VFW with their Memorial Day Service. Our two towns host a parade with a service at the local cemetery to honor the service men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. My contribution was to assist in a tradition that has been passed on for at least 75 years. After the parade everyone meets at the park for ham and bean soup. The VFW makes 9 kettles of soup. We estimate 130 gallons. Ingredients consist of 175 lbs of ham, 220 lbs of beans, and so on. With the weather today the parade was canceled. So we thought what are we going to do with all of this soup since the parade was canceled. To our surprise the soup was gone in 1-1/2 hours and we had to tell people we were out of soup. It is so great to see the support from the community to honor the fallen.
