Post Office Dedication

Can you tell I'm getting some time to blog since we're on Thanksgiving break from school? On Monday, November 5, we attended the renaming/dedication of our local post office in honor of a young man who lost his life fighting with the army in Iraq. Landon's Civil Air Patrol squadron participated by handing out programs since this young man, Dennis Flanagan, was a past commander of the squadron. I was surprised at the number of people there - many veterans. It was a neat ceremony.

Here are Carys, Chase and Gerren before the ceremony started. Carys was good until the beginning of the ceremony. Then someone had to push her around or walk her around.


Landon is the handsome young cadet on the far left of this picture.


This is how the entire squadron stood for an hour during the ceremony. Impressive!

Does it give you a start to see your young man in uniform? It does me.

You have no idea! I've never had any military men in my close family, so it is definitely shocking!

It's so impressive to see young men in their uniforms.
