Thank You Kathy. I took that pic at a PGR attended coming home event for HMM-364 at Camp Pendleton. The unit was returning from an 8-month deployment, their last. Those aircraft were older than their pilots and have now been retired. The unit will be using the MV-22 Osprey.

We love to support our troops! :-)

And what a great picture for remembering....like right up the flag pole.

The Osprey is very different.

I thought this was a pretty cool picture....packed and ready to go!

Good evening, Connie, and thanks for the tributes to our troops.

A good day at work? *HUGS* Any critters on your commute? Is it really hot now?

Monday and Tuesday were both record setting highs....in the 80s here in town
Several towns got above 90!!!!!. UGH!

It's clear skies now, but thankfully cloud cover most of the day.

It is nice having sunshine, but NOT the horrible heat we’ve been having.

Hope you have good weather on your day off.
