Picture of the Day August 4, 2008

Lest we forget in the midst of our personal opinions of the War in Iraq, there are young men and women, some with sons and daughters who are just more innocent victims left behind as their parents march off to war.

Major Terry Davis, I pray you come back home safely. You have a lovely son waiting for a chance someday to play ball with you in the back yard on a summer's eve when the honeysuckles are in bloom and our land is perhaps at Peace.

Dave
