A momma duck and 4 teenagers and another momma duck with 2 pre-teens.
The “4”s momma has to be an old timer. The minute I call, she and the kids come right up to the deck looking up and waiting for corn.
I think about you as I feed them. d:o)
Face of Defense: Airman Helps Injured Warriors 'Face' World
By Air Force Staff Sgt. Erin M. Peterson
Special to American Forces Press Service
LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas, Aug. 13, 2008 The characteristics of a person's face are unmistakable. They are the uniqueness that makes people recognize family members, friends, co-workers. Now imagine suddenly being stripped of those defining characteristics.
Facial injuries are becoming more prevalent among wounded warriors. The features that protrude the most on a person's face are at a high risk for injury.
Air Force Senior Airman Justin Jones, a maxillofacial prosthetic technician with 59th Dental Squadron here, works to help servicemembers who have suffered disfiguring facial injuries.
After he enlisted in the Air Force in December 2002, Jones was a dental lab technician for three and a half years before switching to his current specialty through on-the-job training. His position was previously occupied by a civilian contractor, now retired.
Jones' qualifications come from studying art in high school and college, where he gained an understanding of color and light. He has experience with oil painting, watercolor and clay sculpting. He is now the only full-time maxillofacial prosthetic technician in the Air Force.
ROFLMBO!!! I love you too....:)
