This Time of Year
This time of year is packed full of graduations, at all levels of academic achievement, and the one that brings out the most people to watch and wonder is the Air Force Academy graduation. It actually isn’t for a couple more days, but one of the big thrills is the Thunderbirds, and they always show up a couple days early for practice. Today was practice, and we had spectacular views of the formations off our back deck. Here’s one of the pictures:
 
On this Memorial Day, watching the Thunderbirds has even greater meaning as we honor those who have served and sacrificed for the freedoms that we share. With our troops engaged in battle today and with the constant news of additional soldiers making the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms and to protect our way of life, I’m watching today with pride in their service and with prayers for their safety.Â
For all who have served, thank you!Â
