Tribute to my Honor Guard

Here is my first attempt at creating a video that highlights my Honor Guard team. Its a little rough and the timing isn't exactly perfect but I'll keep working on it.

This is how I currently make my living when I'm not out on my M1A1 tank and these are the soldiers that work their butts off for me in an attempt to give the honors that our veterans have earned.

You'll see some older people in the slide show, these are members of the American Legion, VFW, etc. that show up every day to provide honors for our fallen brothers and sisters. Some are up in their 80's and receive no pay for their duty.

I hope you enjoy this rough draft and please let me know what you think.

P.S. You won't see me because I'm taking the photos ;-)

A Medal of Honor winner in my family

I was posting a little info about a family member on my other blog today and thought that you might be interested in reading a little about him as well.

My sister-in-law is the granddaughter of the famous Gregory "Pappy" Boyington.

For those of you that don't know who he was he lead the Black Sheep Squadron in the Pacific during WWII, was awarded the Medal of Honor, wrote a book called Baa-Baa Black sheep and had a TV show made about him and the squadron during the 70's.

Please jump on over and find out a little more about this war hero.
