    In Honour of the Veteran Heroes of All Ages

    Greetings Lords and Ladies!

    The House of Blackwolf was most honoured to be able to participate this past Saturday in the Veteran Parade in Staunton, VA.  As my husband, brother, father, uncle, great uncle and many others served in the United States military I hold dear those who serve to protect and defend.

    Two years past my husband, Sir Blackwolf, had a wonderful idea of taking Veterans Day one step forward or should I say a step into the past.  With a banner stating "Honouring Veteran Heroes of All Ages" we invite one and all to don their finest garb to join us in honouring the United States Veterans as well as the Veterans of our ancestry. 

    This year we were delighted to have with us a young lady, whose husband joined the Air Force just a month ago, to carry the American Flag. I am certain that seeing all those that came out to support the Veterans gave her reassurance that people do truly appreciate the scarifies made by the soldiers abroad as well as the families at home.  Seeing her smile throughout the parade was a special moment indeed.

    Our presence in the parade was met with cheers and clapping, smiles and waves and a thousand cameras flashing at once.  Young children with their eyes in amazement shouted there's a Knight and the elder Veterans smiled and nodded in approval. 

    It was a most wondrous time to show our respect and praise to those that served with such dignity and courage. 

    Hail to the Veterans of all Ages and to those that support them as well!!!
