Hi there, cherry! Hope all is well with you.
Our father is clueless but I swear our mother has eyes behind the back of her head. LOL! God bless them both.

Iraqis celebrate their liberation by turning weapons
into pieces of art. U.S. Army photo by Spc. Jose I. Sanchez Now that is one productive way of expressing themselves. That is so cool.

Just ran across this letter to the editor in the Stars & Stripes:A show of respect
As usual, I was running late. So readers can imagine my frustration as I approached the main gate of Ramstein Air Base, Germany, only to find traffic backed up. Nearing the checkpoint, I realized that not only was there a long line of cars, but traffic had come to a complete stop because all entrance gates were closed.
Over the past 18 months, there have been many opportunities to practice our patience as weve had to hurry up and wait because of heightened security. While we realize the necessity, its still frustrating at times for even the most easygoing folks. This was one of those times for me. I needed to be where I was going, and I needed to be there now! The German soldiers, who are manning the entrances of American military installations in Germany, were just milling around at Ramstein, chatting as if those of us in line had all the time in the world.
Things then seemed to go from bad to worse. The German gate guards began walking among the stopped cars, asking us to turn off our engines and headlights. I realized that no traffic was exiting or entering the air base. My feelings of frustration began to turn to concern. Just what was going on? A few minutes later, I noticed blue lights approaching from the direction of the air terminal. Close behind were two military medical buses with their Red Cross. Lights were on in the buses and intravenous bags could be seen hanging. It was then that I realized these were more of our wounded warriors being transported from the battlefields to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center for treatment.
I certainly wasnt prepared for what happened next. All the German soldiers, our gate guards, began walking toward the concrete barriers that divide the inbound and outbound lanes of traffic. As the blue lights neared, more German soldiers seemed to appear from nowhere, lining the road shoulder to shoulder. Right on cue, without a word being spoken, these soldiers snapped a sharp salute as the buses drove past, rendering arms until well after the last bus had passed. Needless to say, I was speechless and deeply moved. What a show of respect for fellow soldiers!
Soldier to soldier, rendering honor and respect. Our allies, our comrades those who know the price that some have to pay for freedom did not have to be asked or prompted. It came from their character and soldiering hearts.
May God bless and watch over all soldiers and their loved ones as they stand in harms way for us.
