The Major Veteran's Day Faux Pas

Noah came home from school yesterday and informed me that they had their Veteran's Day assembly. He was all in a huff over it. Apparently a major faux pas had been committed and no one he complained to seemed to take notice.

A year ago, the military bases in our area which are all located within a close proximity of each other, all merged to form one large joint superbase. And although the majority of the population is comprised of Army and Air Force, we are now seeing an influx of quite a few families associated with Marines, Navy and Coast Guard. They are all represented here.

During the school assembly, a medley of all the armed forces songs was played in a sing-along-style with accompanying video. Noah's first complaint? The Coast Guard was left out. He thought that extremely unfair. His second complaint? When they played the Air Force Song (we are an Air Force family) the accompanying video was of NAVY jets. And this infuriated Noah. He ranted, "How could they NOT notice it? They CLEARLY had "Navy" painted on them!!" I suggested perhaps they were trying to show how all the branches work together for one purpose. He wasn't having it.

So, on the off-chance that someone in film is reading my blog ( yeah, right!), can you please make a video including all the services, including Coast Guard? And for the love of all that his holy, PLEASE don't show a Navy jet when the Air Force song is playing.

Or you will have to answer to Noah.

Here ya go, little man- this one's for you: **singing**

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun! (Give 'er the gun now!)
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

**cue fly-by**
