That is such a beautiful and touching graphic of the baby with the praying hands!

Thank you for "Themeless Tuesday" and that cute graphic. I can't decide if I am going to try to find an equally funny welcome graphic for next Tuesday or if it would be easier just to do another state. LOL.

040419-N-6027E-003 North Polar Region (Apr. 19, 2004) - The Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Hampton (SSN 767) surfaced at the North Pole. Hampton and the Royal Navy Trafalgar class attack submarine HMS Tireless took part in ICEX 04, a joint operational exercise beneath the polar ice cap. Both the Tireless and Hampton crews met on the ice, including scientists traveling aboard both submarines to collect data and perform experiments. The Ice Exercise demonstrates the U.S. and British Submarine Force's ability to freely navigate in all international waters, including the Arctic. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Journalist Kevin Elliott.

Great photos bump. Picture 1 = Reason # 1657b the US is the true protectors of the free world. Hunter/Killer subs of the LA class. Engineering marvels. And the unseen warriors that volunteer to man them are so deserving of praise. Thanks for reminding us of more guardians many take for granted.
