Its Veterans Day-

While I was out running errands this morning I just happened to be in the right place to see 4 F-16s from Hill flying over town and then perform a Missing Man formation. I might have held up traffic for few moments while I sat in my truck and watched. If I held up your shopping for few minutes- tough.

Tonight while surfing through my bloglist, I found a Veteran's Day tribute over at Cowboy Blob's that is so moving that it deserves to be shared. Its A Pittance of Time, and its worthy of your time to spend two minutes and watch it.

Last night, the BSU and I went to the movies and we saw Flags of Our Fathers in keeping with the thoughts of Veterans on this weekend. It is a fine movie, touching but not too sappy or over the top. It is a good story of the fighting in the Pacific during World War II and how the lives of some and so many were affected. It is a sobering story of the men that fought to secure Iwo Jima so that the war could be won and ended. It was the perfect movie for this weekend.
