Last fall at our family reunion, we went to the Veterans Memorial at the cemetery in Durango. It is a beautiful monument and the setting makes it even more humbling as you read and consider the meaning of it all. My niece took a picture of my son's reflection in one of the polished granite panels that make up the monument.
Ironic that it was this particular panel.
I really like this picture of Michael. He looks like he is ready to fight for my freedom. Thank you Michael for the sacrifice you made for my family's freedom.

What a great picture! That definitely reflects the true meaning that freedom isn't free. Had to post on this one. I am so proud to know you and have you a part of my life, Mike. You were an inspiration to me before, but now I am in awww and amazement. Miss you buddy!

ReplyDeleteThis is a good picture and it's true. Freedon isn't free. My husband, SPC Brian Bowman, was the medic that treated Mike that terrible day. Then during the second IED, my husband was taken from me. I pray that your healing continues Mike. I am excited to meet you. If you or your family ever want to get ahold of me please do at bc.bowman@hotmail.com. My prayers are with you and the rest of Bravo daily. ~Casie Bowman
