That was awesome. I always thought of Gibbs as a grandfather, not an uncle.

This brought tears to my eyes in a good way. Veteran's Day is very big in my home town. Our town has a long tradition of patriotism(we had the 92nd annual Veterans Day parade yesterday) and I was raised patriotic, not to mention about 80% of the males in my family have served. So thank you for honoring our veterans.

AW, I wish there was a way for Katie to meet that Marine after all!

it was a good one thanks keep up the good writing

This is the right story for the day..thanks for writing it...

Lovely! The sense of unity was very touching, and Katie's reactions to the ceremony were realistic. Short and sweet)

I miss this uni, so touching how Gibbs is remembered (and he read an email! lol).

It certainly is a day to appreciate all who fight for our freedom.

Oh, nice story! I loved the descriptions of the traditions, and I liked how you presented them with these characters we all know (and love). Thanks!
