Tribute to the Fallen 11-10-2009

Today was a day full of emotion. 13 pairs of combat boots each with an inverted rifle and helmet, and a picture of each solider below. Obama gave a good speech, there was a rifleman salute and taps were played. We will NEVER Forget the FALLEN.

"Their life's work is our security and the freedom that we often take for granted. Every evening that the sun sets on a tranquil town; every dawn that a flag is unfurled; every moment that an American enjoys life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness- that is their legacy." President Barack Obama

    Isn't it wonderful the innocence of children, still full of joy in the middle of all that pain. God blessed us greatly sending hope and sunshine through them
