wave that flag!

 I know our country has problems but sometimes it's good to feel unapologetically patriotic.  This evening was one of those times.  The weather was perfect, it didn't rain, several hundred of us gathered at Parkview Field to enjoy the Fort Wayne Philharmonic's patriotic concert.  The first time they've all played together since before the pandemic.  It was wonderful.  We heard the history of the National Anthem, enjoyed several stirring marches, sang along to 'My Country tiz of Thee' and other patriotic songs, saluted veterans and active duty military persons and watched fireworks while the orchestra played the theme from 'Star Wars.'  Not quite sure how that fits as a patriotic tune but everybody loved it.  All in all it was a rousing, feel good evening.
