brenner was in the veterans day parade with the boys & girls club of redmond. and yes, i was "that" mom running down the sidewalk with both the chamber's camera and my blackberry snapping pictures and calling his name. i'm sure he was happy to see me and a little embarrassed at the same time.

happy veterans day!
