It was a warm sunny day here on the Gulf Coast, and a perfect day for a parade. We drove downtown Mobile to watch my nephew Mike march in the annual Veterans day parade. Being the wife of a military man for a little over 20 years now, I had great admiration and pride watching all the young men and women who proudly serve our country march past us. I read a bumper sticker on the way to the parade that said... If you can't stand behind our troops, then stand in front of them...It brought to mind 2 young men I know on their way to Iraq. I pray that they will return safely, and thank them and all the soldiers of the armed forces (My husband and nephews included) for risking their lives for the benefit of the people of our country.
And thanks Mike for letting me have a blast playing "paparazzi" today and letting Austin and I "stalk" you on the parade route! You were a good sport and only cracked a smile once!
My son Austin took this shot... he just might make a great assistant!
The Azalea Trail Maids of Mobile...Can't imagine how they walk miles in those dresses!
