ARMED FORCES DAY LAKE HAVASU CITY 2007
Last Saturday morning we attended Armed Forces Day 2007 in Lake Havasu City. I was especially proud to attend because my son-in-law is in Army fighting in the Operation Iraqui Freedom. He is part of the 1st Cavalry Division. I love this picture of him and one of his dogs, Aries, which was taken last year.
Here is a picture of me, my husband, and daughter waving our flags and homemade signs during the ceremony. There were speakers and a singer (we could have used Neenee's group from Kenosha singing the Armed Forces March). I was very glad that he had attended one our Fourth of July programs before he was deployed. I had cried when he stood up (during the Army part of the song) and saluted the flag. You can't see it in the photo but my hat says
'Army Mom'.
Here are a few shots of the crowd:
Two young men in the Armed Forces spoke to the crowd and a chaplain prayed for our soldiers who are fighting for our freedom. God bless our troops!
P. S. Dear Son-in-law, I sent you a care package today.....I hope you like it! Love, Mom#2
I must admit that my buttons burst with pride when I talk about our armed forces and what they have sacrificed for us.
