My funny moment of the day: When you hear there is going to be a fly over at 11:00 and to prepare the girls because it might be loud, what do you expect is going to happen? We were in Hawaii for our last duty station and had the Blue Angels and several other fighter jets flying over all of the time. The fly overs that shake the ground and buildings around because they are so loud and impressive, the kind that you have to really be prepared for because they come and go so quickly. Well we had just had the moment of silence for all of the Vet's past and present and we were looking for the jets to fly overhead. In the distance we could see some planes coming so I pointed them out to the girls and we watched them as they slowly crept our way. As they got closer, at a very slow rate, I realized we were not having the Blue Angels or any other jet, these appeared to be crop dusters. Yes they were the planes that were doing the fly over, but nothing that I had pictured for the day. One of the little girls in our troop said "do we have to wait for them to get all the way to us?" It was fun and a great tribute, but oh so not what we had expected!
Thank you to all of our family and friends past and present who have served in the Military. I don't want to even try to name them all because I know I will miss someone. However, I do have to mention my amazing husband. Sterling is a great man who gives so much for our country and for our family. He missed this 4 day weekend with family serving the Army in Texas for 4 weeks. We miss him and can't wait for him to come home. We are so grateful for him and the great man, husband, father, friend he is to all of us!
