they fell in a worthy cause.

They did indeed, nothing is more significant then their sacrifice...I just can't believe that it was so long ago, just getting old and nostalgic, I guess..

Howdy, (((Lauren)))

Long time, no see! I have missed you! Hope you are well...and
hope you are going to be at the shoot this fall!

Funny thing....my son just returned from Tindall...he attended
the NCO Academy there in preparation for promotion to Master Sgt. :)

He liked it and would love to be stationed there and to work
at the Rescue Control Center that has been moved there from
Langley in Virginia! He worked for them in VA and loved the work.

*MEGAHUG* I read how you are feeling tonight..
I can never find the right words to thank all our Veterans for their service and sacrifice.
Thank you just seems as though it isn't enough....
But, thank you, Pro, and all our Vets, for your service and sacrifice. I am truly grateful.

God Bless!

Aloha Taz!

((Hugs)) backatcha!

I can't get used to DST yet.....and we don't even have it here.

There doesn't seem to be much that anyone can do about this last little incident except pay the piper. Petty crimes are viewed as just that.

*Tyndall*...NOT Tindall. *sigh*

Well trained dogs, ignoring a plate full of people food at mouth level is hard.
