May God bless our soldiers and this great country!

These few shots were taken at the Oxnard Sea Bee Days parade last weekend. It was an emotional visit...As I held my 2 year old son in my arms on the pavement I watched as fighter jets flew overhead and big tanks fired off machine gun blanks while hundreds of men and women marched by my feet...and I cried through the whole thing. I am proud of them for their role in keeping this nation from harms way so that I can play outside with my kid without fear but it pains me that sons and daughters, mothers and fathers are put in a position to use these things in the first place and the reality that some of the people that proudly walked before me that day may die for us....harsh...yikes...I think I am going to loose it again while I type.

We go about our day as we always do and often forget that our country is at war and has been...each day people are put in dangers way...each day they need our prayers...please take one minute right now to pray for the sons and daughters, mothers and fathers serving our country and the families that wait for them to come home. It's what we can do for those who are giving so much for us.
