Yesterday was a somber day.  As we remembered the most intense moments of modern American history, my brother-in-law began his 365-day call to duty.  As a physician’s assistant, he will serve on a medical unit, taking care of our troop’s medical needs.

We attended a ceremony to send him and his unit off with celebrations.  I caught a shot of his unit’s flag.

Pray for us over the course of the next year.  It will, no doubt, be a rough year for a mother, father, sister, two brothers, a girlfriend, and two sisters-in-law.  And it will for the families of thousands of other soldiers.

Patriotically,
