History in the Making

Today was the Armed Forces Farewell to President Bush. Brad put his name in a lottery to attend and was one of the approximately 400 military members selected. Although he was disappointed to not have a handshaking opportunity and a photo op, he said it was pretty awesome experience.
Essentially this was the military's farewell to their Commander in Chief. The VP and his wife were there as well as Laura Bush.

Below is the Armed Forces Continental Band.

Here are 2 brief video clips of Bush addressing the crowd and some of the parade.
