Camera Critters - A veteran and a giraffe!
Taken over a year ago I believe in San Diego this is my 3rd born son out of four sons (no daughters for me) and what appears to be his new friend. I think this is just an adorable picture.
And I also have a terrible trait of being a bragging mom and why stop now eh? Troy did an 18 month tour in Iraq, I am very proud of him!

Navy Petty Officer Mike Monsoor
I received this from a friend today. I thought I would share.
PO2 (EOD2)(Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Mike Monsoor, a Navy EOD
Technician, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously
for jumping on a grenade in Iraq , giving his life to save his fellow
Seals.
During Mike Monsoor's funeral in San Diego , as his coffin was being
moved from the hearse to the grave site at Ft. Rosecrans National
Cemetery, SEAL's were lined up on both sides of the pallbearers route
forming a column of two's, with the coffin moving up the center. As
Mike's coffin passed, each SEAL, having removed his gold Trident from
his uniform, slapped it down embedding the Trident in the wooden
coffin.
God Bless our Troops

The slaps were audible from across the cemetery; by the time the
coffin arrived grave side, it looked as though it had a gold inlay
from all the Tridents pinned to it. This was a fitting send-off for a
warrior hero.
This should be front-page news instead of the crap we see every day.

I am damn proud of our military.

Don't ever forget
As a mother to a son who did a 16 month tour in Iraq I am amazed at how much I don't hear about our sons and daughters over there. Is it where I live? I don't think so! A couple of weeks ago I DID hear on the news that we had lost our 4000th American in Iraq. Is that all I am going to hear? A number? I am so lucky that my son came home. I do however believe that the 4000th one is 4000 too many. I dare not say how I feel about this war especially in what is just a simple blog, but I do want and am going to say that we as Americans I believe need to never forget, not even for a day what our sons and daughters are doing over there. And if you pray I hope you pray for them.
The day I heard that we had lost our 4000th American,
You know what?
Never a name, an age or a sex, just a number!
Just a f------ number!
I believe it is a down right shame!
The helmets, weapons, dog tags and boots of two fallen US Marines stand at the end of a ceremony in their honour at Camp Bastion, in southern Afghanistan.
And I will post this now the way I always do;
PEACE!!! Allison
