My hubby was in the Airforce, and my nephew is in the Marines! So, I love what our troops have always done for their country and everyone should always be proud of them rather they agree with the wars or not!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998455958377639450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-73718405053398361192010-08-22T08:51:05.118-05:002010-08-22T08:51:05.118-05:00Wonderful....little towns do it best because it fr...Wonderful....little towns do it best because it from the heart.
