VETERANS from A1
vaged from World War I that brought gasps from onlookers, flying so low as to "mow the grass without touching the ground" and off again. It was something a child might read about in a comic book, reminding this reporter of days long past when crop dusters performed such breathtaking chances. Those planes, as well as some other relics from previous wars, might be seen at the Props and Jet Museum of Hemet out at Ryan Field on the west end of town. The California Riverside Pipe Band performed "A Scottish Soldier," which will bring a lump in the throat or tears to the eyes to anyone who understands the loss from battle and the feelings suffered by survivors. This was followed by The Riverside Sheriff Department Mounted Posse presentation of the colors. The San Jacinto High School Chamber Choir performed the national anthem, and the award-winning San Jacinto High School R .O. T. C. rifle drill team demonstrated competence of almost disbelief with a flawless drill routine. These youngsters appeared to be combat-ready if anyone had any doubt about preparedness. One wonders if these innocent students will someday be called upon to lay down their lives to protect our freedoms. If that thought doesn't touch your heart, I fear you have heart problems. Any one of them,

It is very thrilling to look at, but horrible to look beyond at the possibilities. U. S. Navy Veteran Virgal Woolfolk, a resident of Beaumont, who was part of the military task force to free the American hostages in Iran and later served during the Gulf War, delivered a very simple but meaningful invocation. "For each and every venter," he said, "who has served our country through the years, we thank you for your sacrifice. Comfort those who struggle in life after war, Help us to honor and care for those who have given so much for us," he said. The ceremonies ended with a five-gun rifle salute by the American Legion Post 53 Honor Detail team and fallowed by the audiences accompanying Golden Era's own Linda Greilich and the San Jacinto High School Chamber Choir in a loud and glorious rendition of "America The Beautiful." A complimentary Lun-
cheon, served by Authority Real Estate followed and there was free golf for all veterans I had the honor of front row seats with San Jacinto Mayor Russ Ut, Congressman Ruiz, Muriel Dufresne and my longtime friend Virgal Woolfolk. To say I was moved would be a vast understatement. Veterans from every war from World War II to whatever we call the mess in the Middle East and their families were present. I am one of those veterans. I reflected back to my childhood, long before I ever put on a uniform, and remembered that during the 1930's kids bought bubble gum that came with Indian and Cowboy cards and War Cards that told stories of heroes and battles. The one thing I never forgot and I don't think I ever will was a simple statement on the War Cards that said, "To know the Horrors of War is to Want Peace." Who among us dare not say Amen to that?
