Texas State Cemetery, east side of IH35. I need to get down there too. I was honored to be able to pay my respects to the caravan from Dallas. Seems like there were police cars from every city and town between Dallas ans Austin, DPS as well, including helicopters. Biggest ever in TX.
Thanks for pinging your group, Windflier!
Thanks for that. Our paper got a bad shot but they wanted the marine in the pic.
That is awesome information to know.
You betcha, Luv. I would do it more often, but our business has grown, and I don't have the luxury freeping time that I once did. I read a lot more than I post, these days.
Well, it’s great that business is good but sorry it eats into freeping time. Darn, life gets in the way of fun!
“Darn, life gets in the way of fun!”
Don’t it, though? LOL
Thanks for the ping. Will stop and pay our respects the next time we are in or even remotely near Odessa. God bless you and your family.
