This is a link that I’m adding for more information about this deployment.
Our local National Guard Unit deployed this morning to Kuwait
in support of Operation Enduring Freedom
About 165 soldiers from our community deployed
I photographed the deployment
Through quite a few tears
For the families and soldiers that were there
I’m sharing these photos with all of you . . .
because . . .
I can count on all of you to remember these heroes in your prayers ! ! !
A huge contingent of the Patriot Guard
escorted our Guard on their way . . .
. . . you did get those tissues before you sat down, didn’t you???
I have lots more photos that I will post,
later . . .
Have a beautiful day Peeps.
It does make me teary seeing those soldiers leave their families. I know they have to go --and I'm glad we have them protecting us. BUT--it's still hard to see deployment. It's much nicer seeing them RETURN home...
ReplyDeleteGreat set of photos.
Hugs,

I'm glad you got these moving pictures -- and that you warned us to get the tissues handy. These are wonderful pictures of heroes and their family.
ReplyDeleteYou photographed these heroes and their families so perfectly. Praying for their safe return!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tribute and post. Definitely made me cry. As wonderful as our new home for 18 months is, (New Zealand), our hearts often turn to our permanent home and we give gratitude for the freedoms and blessings we have there, and for those like these men (and women) who make it possible. P.S. I wish I had more time to comment, I love your posts.)
