Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families. THANK YOU.
Thank you, Connie, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities. Tanks are nice.....lots of fire power....and takes a lot to push them around!
DC Metroland weather report. Today, cloudy and rainy. A little cooler than yesterday. Yesterday.......was one be-u-ti-ful spring day.
Sorry, I'm late again, but I got waylaid checking out the pictures of Luvy and gang shooting guns. Looks like they had so much fun.
