The dogs and I went to Midway Airport to pick up the Queen. As we waited in the car phone lot, I noticed a bunch of bikers congregating in the lot. It was about 50 degrees so it seemed strange to me that bikers were out tonight. Then I saw the Patriot Guard decals on some of the motorcycles. I thought they were there to escort a soldier's body back home. Chrissy called and said there was a full military band and lots of soldiers waiting near the luggage pick up area for some WWII veterans that were passing through the airport. She said there was a huge crowd and she was given a flag by one of the kids there to greet the veterans. I saw the color guard as I drove up to the terminal. I thought it was a pretty cool thing to do for the World War II veterans. The dogs were happy to see her for about five minutes, then they were done with her. I checked online and the Patriot Guard was there to escort the veterans back home.
