Marched with State Honor Guard

[Redmaxx 740]

I rejoined the Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of Michigan State Honor Guard last month. Well yesterday (4 July 2017) was our first official event. It was a 2 mile (give or take) parade. When I was on the State Honor Guard 2 years ago I thought I was going to die by the time we reached the end of the parade. Yesterday, I was like huh, when is this parade going to start. I carried the Department flag and had zero issues. What a difference losing 100 pounds makes. Also, 2 years ago the uniform I was issued had become a little too small for me (I couldn't button the pants (thank goodness there is a wide white belt that covered it up) and I had to buy a larger uniform) but now I have the smallest shirt and pants that I can find and I feel so much more comfortable. I love the new me.
