Thank you for those marvelous photos. Warms my heart. All of them were great but when I look at the ones with the babies and little children in them it brings home the fact this is what the fight is all about.

The safety of our children so they can enjoy their tomorrows as we all have. We need to fight for our country today so the little ones will be able to have a country to enjoy tomorrow.

God bless their daddies and mommies.
