Ok..I think I have this figured out,when Picasa changed formats I started having problems posting my blog. I spend time writing and then go to post and it all disappears. But I think it will work if I stop trying to add so many photos in one entry so here goes...down to 2....
A couple of weeks ago I drove down to Virginia with my dad and oldest sister to visit T and her girls. They are entirely too adorable. The main reason we headed down there was that on Monday of last week my dad's friend, John, was being buried at arlington National Cemetery. John had been a prisioner of war during WWII and was able to have a gravesite in DC. I had never beed to a true miitary funeral before and was so moved by the whole tradition. Now I have never been much for burials and all but this was such a moving final acknowledgement of a man who sacrificed much for our country. These photos are from an earlier burial that we saw while waiting to meet up with John's family and I cried through the whole service..I was so moved. I am so proud to see how w!!ell our military takes care of their own. God Bless America!!
