It's great your kids had the day off.
Thank you so much for this thread today. I shed a few tears while looking at the pics and listening to the music. It's amazing.
I thought a lot today about my dad, my father-in-law, a special friend, and another high school friend who was killed in Iraq this summer. Your work truly warmed my heart this morning.
I am sorry to hear about your friend. Godspeed to him. Thank you for the kind words. Truthfully I spent most of the week this week on a sentimental journey and it was moving for me to work on this thread. Taking the time to learn about our Veterans is so enriching. I found myself thinking about my relatives who were veterans. I wish I knew then what I know now-so I could have thanked them better for their dedication.
