'Preciate you.

Real people. Real memories. Real thank yous.

Harry as a soldier at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier


To the countless men and women in the armed forces who have given their lives. . . .and to those who continue to lay their lives on the line every day so that I can enjoy all of the things you are missing. . .

. . . .like birthdays and soccer games and births and weddings and graduations and. . . . 

Thanks. Or as the Grady elders say, "'Preciate you."

***
Happy Memorial Day.

  1. Appreciate your pics and words. I don't think we can really absorb what our military has done for each of us. It's very humbling.
