Pic of the Year -- Standing Tall

Taken at the National Cemetery in Minneapolis on a June
morning - as it appeared in the Minneapolis Star/Tribune.

Talk about a picture being worth a thousand words!!! It
says everything without a single word. This should
become an official Memorial Day, 4th of July
and/or Veterans Day remembrance photo; “Our symbol
standing
guard”. “Semper Paratus” ("Always Prepared"
as the Coast Guard puts it).
This gave me cold chills!!

Beautiful. Gave me chills, too. I’m stealing, of course. :)

Colonel...did you see this in the Red Star? They did good for a change!

Wow, JC! What a goose-bumper!

(If you look real close, you may see a single tear, streaming down the eagle’s face.) At least I did.

Thank you for finding and sharing it with us all!

Heads up all Military or retired Military
Especially after eyeballing the Pig Book of congressional Spending and it’s wasteful. useless programs.

Obama gutting the Military

Be sure to call your Senator today and stop this outrage, especially after you have read at least the highlights of the PIG BOOK of Congressional Spending.
