I just want to wish everyone a Happy & Safe Independence weekend!  Take a moment to give thought and maybe even a prayer  to all the families missing a loved one serving their country over-seas & to the soldiers themselves.  Without the sacrifice of those in uniform from the past, present, and future….we woudn’t have an independence to celebrate.  God Bless America!

This image was taken not long after my company had arrived in Iraq in 2003.  Look closely  and you’ll see the shadow creates an “X.”  When we arrived at this base {which I didn’t call home very long, I was moved soon after to the middle of nowhere}, we were instructed to tape the windows with an “X” so that if we were to get mortared, the glass wouldn’t shatter everywhere and create injury.  Not quite sure that would save a person, but hey, you just do what you’re told!  Anyway, Live, Laugh, & Love the ones you’re with this holiday weekend!
