And its OK to shed tears for heroes.
People who can't (or won't) shed tears for our fallen heroes aren't completely human, IMHO.
Personally, it's two things for me...the sight of the flag drapped coffin being carried by the honor guard in utter silence, and when the bagpiper cuts loose with Amazing Grace. Ain't no stoppin' it then.

I have a tough time at military funerals. I never wear makeup at them because it will run and smear.
It’s difficult for me to hear Taps at any time.

Sheep (and camels, and llamas) do have a snooty expression. This sheep was not extremely big, but big enough to be intimidating to even a bruiser 3-year-old, and it was saying *something* quite loudly. It wasn’t really chasing James ... just curious!

As are camels, I’m told. I’ve never, personally, had one or the other spit on me.

Finally back for the evening.
Looks like the thread's gone to bed for the night, so I will too.
Tomorrow, all!

To: Professional Engineer
Yah...I have a yellow ribbon on my door, and will have one there as long as troops are overseas for any reason. So I guess I’ll have it there until the day I die.
Coming from a military background, honoring our military is in my blood. I’m proud of all they do, and it makes me cry because they are so brave. There is nothing I can say or do that will ever thank them enough for their bravery and service.

Well tomorrow is today here.
Busy morning ahead. Not only is it Whitsunday (Pentecost) but we have a baptism, and yours truly is once again the photographer.

Good luck! My husband and some kids went to Mass this morning, and they said there was a baptism then. I’ll be going this evening with Bill and Tom.
