The Long Awaited and Much anticipated…pictures from Belgium

OK already! It is the end of the term and I had a bajillion papers to grade and projects to grade and jetlag to get over and a wedding to begin to plan and and and…OK, I needed to label all the pictures too.

So, here, for your edification (love words that roll off your tongue like that one) are some of the pics from Belgium. Enjoy…

Remember Them

Sometimes, I think we forget….I believe that although most Americans likely hate that we have been involved in a terrible war effort in Iraq, they don’t hate the men and women who were sent there to do a job.

This takes me back to Viet Nam. We HATED that we were involved in that ugly conflict (remember, it was NOT a war?!?) and so very sadly, many people in my generation also had a loathing for the brave men (no women back then) that did their job.

This clip from Youtube is circulating and it really does need to be watched by everyone. We need to remember that the soldiers are doing their job and we dare NOT loathe them again or turn our backs on them, like Viet Nam. We need to remember them…just REMEMBER them…

Remember Me

Please watch, and remember.
