O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

I was lucky enough to be able to clap hands for, and shake hands with, a platoon of soldiers returning from Iraq in an airport once. It was very emotional!
ReplyDeleteGod bless and protect Captian Meyers!

Great post. God bless Captain Meyers.
ReplyDeleteI love this! We are a military family, and one of my most favorite things is going to see a movie on a military base. In every part of the world, no matter what base you're on - it's always the same. Just prior to the movie starting, everyone in the theater rises and stands at attention as they play the National Anthem. It brings tears to my eyes every time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post and wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I thought I was going to see a tablescape for Memorial Day. LOL Goes to show you where my mind is all the time...dishes, dishes, dishes. :)
Hugs,
Joanne
