Thanks Beachcomber, coming from a military family, this day is extra special. And being in Texas (Ft. Hood right up the road) even more so ;-(

That first shot is awesome Stella. The colours snd contrast are just perfect. The other two are excellent as well. What a lovely tribute. Thank you for sharing it with us.
