We just got back from a Veteran's Day celebration at the school. This is Josie and Emeline with their Grandpa and Grandma B. The young man on the right is a cousin named Will.
At the assembly all military members from the neighborhood were on stage. As they were introduced family members walked up the aisle to place a medal of honor around their necks. Georgia and Josie (along with other cousins) went up to meet Grandpa B. who was in the Army. It was very moving. I was surprised at just how many active military members little La Fargeville has.
The most touching part was a man that just returned (midnight) from Iraq last night. His kids had just found out he was home and they introduced him to a rousing round of applause. His family was crying and everyone on stage turned to salute him.
We give a salute to Grandpa B, Grandpa H. and cousin Dale. We are very proud of you!

It sounds like you attended a nice ceremony this morning. Also, that is a gorgeous picture of the girls Jenny!
We, also, are very proud of our Veterans, Grandpa B., Grandpa H. and especially our Marine Grandson, Dale, who will be coming HOME on Jan. 19th, to be back with his family, and to go back to college after his two tours in Iraq.
GOD BLESS ALL OUR VETERANS!!!
The pictures of the girls are great and yes, God Bless our Veterans and all our soldiers in Ira
