Yesterday's Heros....Tomorrow's Hope

I should have posted this on Memorial Day, but it works well for Independence Day, too. This is a picture of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. It is one of my favorite photos. I wondered if these two young men were there to remember a grandfather or maybe an uncle. This beautiful tribute to so many brave men is a humbling reminder that freedom is not free, and we are indebted to so many brave men and women who make it possible for the rest of us to pursue life, liberty and happiness in the United States of America. Happy July 4th to all! (I've posted this early because we are heading down to Moab again, this time with Dalin & Emily.)

Who's Emily? Is she a GOOD friend of Dalin?
