+1 for me too!
The local arts council holds a Blues Festival every year on Memorial Day.
There are tons of vets here. Even a few left from the Bataan march! Seems like New Mexico National Gaurd gets sent out a lot! Enough that there are survivors of the last 5 wars here all at the same time!
Lots of flags flying all weekend long.
It's a great way to remember and they get some really great acts. It's rumored that Coco Taylor will be here this year. Last year it was Guitar Slim, before that it was Lucky Peterson.
