This night the West Side Club was celebrating their heritage and the "People of the Year".
It is quite the event, but in my opinion the event was secondary to the people and their love of life.
They had a marching band ... (Yes, it came marching through the hall) and a kind of beauty queen and lots of honor.
I can tell you, these people are happy. Simple happiness.
Look at that smile ...
Yes, honor, pride, love, caring, non-judgement ... well maybe they do judge ..
It was a cool night, and I have to slow down and enjoy life.
A Mother's love is a blessing, one that even a soldier holds so dear.
