We didn't go in depth but our facial expressions showed what our hearts were feeling watching them go by on that long line. It is true that I didn't get impatient waiting because I thought of who they were going to protect and I prayed for all who would be using them.

The whole incident came, made its impression and went, without word or comment from any in the group. Another thought: as we each sat there or stood by, in that period of time, we were no longer Republicans or Democrats, choosing sides in an abstract political argument. Instead we were simply women standing together, wives, mothers, aunts and grandmothers relating from our loving hearts rather than our political minds.

It was a reminder of what others are giving up for all of us. Saw you jump out of the car to take this photo, somehow I didn’t mind the long wait at the crossing.

He left in Sept and is scheduled to return around Oct or Nov. I often wonder if people can honestly comprehend the sacrifices individuals are making so far from home. Trish, I Enjoy your pics and thoughtful messages, I try to read them on a daily basis! keep it up!

I often wonder how many of us ever stop to reflect on the many things that are required to ensure that we live in this free country with out many blessings. Thank you for your words and reminder of the many young men and women fighting to keep us safe at home. This is just another reminder of the cost of the freedom we so casually accept.
