What a lovely day for a drive up the coast. Over 70 flights were camcelled at Limburgh Field today. Fog. Inland it was all beautiful. We drove up to Santa Monica because we heard about a group that places crosses on the beach every Sunday as a tribute to the fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan. They call it Arlington West. We got there and were able to dedicate a cross for Jeremiah. Actually, we were surprised to find one was already done. Two others had been here before us. One just left initials on the sign he made, and the other was made by Sgt. Huff, who served with Jeremiah. He's presently back in Iraq. The display is moving. They do this every Sunday.
They have a table for more information and offer a lot of materials for returning vets about many services available, including medical, schooling, etc.
The group who sponsors this is Vets for Peace who advocate bringing everybody home now. I personally do not agree with their viewpoint but do appreciate any tribute to the fallen.

Did you forget something this week? :)
Yo! Ho! Me Hearty!
Glad to hear the POSM World Tour 08' was a success.
If the settings let me get though I'll stay in touch more. You are right about the crazies in DC.
Did the media forget who started throwing rockets over the fence first?? Hope the "obamagasam" wears off and the country wakes up before it's to late.
Rich ;-)
