On a day like today I am thinking about my son and his tour. Thought I would drag out a few of the pictures.

David with Lewis Black and his best friend Sosa. Lewis was over there to do a few shows. The guys were heading out on a mission and were going to miss the one on their base. Lewis took the time to visit with the two of them before they left. They thanked him for taking time out of his busy schedule. He looked them in the eyes and said thank you to them for their service. He is a heck of a guy even if I have a hard time enjoying his comedy.


Remembering those who did not return.


Getting a hug from Momma on his return.


Mom coming up for air before she headed back in for a second welcome home hug.


Adjusting to life again.

Thanks for sharing that. I often times finding myself getting upset with the national media for focusing on something non-important WAY too much and wonder what's going on with Afghanistan and other important stuff they no long cover.

I was shocked when I looked at the photos. The first one was when he was in Kansas in training. He looks so young. He looks like he is a 10-12 year old "playing Army."
