Reception For Veterans

Who in attendance devoted the most skill and caring to honor the veterans seated in the front row? Was it law enforcement showing tolerance giving veterans the benefit of the doubt in situations not too serious no damage to property or person? Was it the mayor reading from a prepared speech not words spoken spontaneously from deep within? Was it the village officials making their appearance but not really knowing what it is like to walk a mile in the combat boots of veterans seated in the front row? No, none of the above in my opinion. Rather it was a woman, with a crown of grey hair now white, that might have been a halo? She was a master of her craft baking treats that excited pallets far and wide amazing all.Despite a food allergy she couldn’t taste to judge her wares Hers was the greatest gift honoring those who sacrificed all.in faraway lands coming back sometime not so tall
