A few weeks ago I got to see a longtime friend of mine while he was back on leave (he's a former Marine who's in the Army now). We stopped by his homecoming/birthday party and it was mucho good to see him. It was especially cool because the Patriot Guard rode in to show their support and say a big thank you, a much deserved one at that.
Chris isn't just a brave soldier serving us - he's a good friend. We go way back. Back to the days of him scaring me with bumble bees, the days of ridiculous jokes at lunch, and the days of walking around as a couple of old farts in Lil' Abner. If I wasn't so lazy right now, I'd scan a picture from that show and post it. I'm certain you'd get a good laugh out of it. I could tell countless stories, but I'll spare you. =)
The other cool thing is that we got to photograph his family while he was back in town. He goes on another tour in Afghanistan this Spring so we're glad we got to get the gang together before then. Here's a few of the pictures:

There was another homecoming today...that of a fallen soldier...Sgt. Tyler Juden. The Patriot Guard escorted his body through town today. Flags were lowered half-staff, yellow ribbons were tied to poles along the street, and people lined up to welcome him home. I wasn't able to attend the processional but heard it was a quite the site and I'm glad it was. I'm glad so many people came out to honor someone who, unfortunately paid the ultimate price. For me, his death has served as a reminder not to take for granted those who protect our freedom everyday. So thank you Tyler, thank you Chris, and thank you every other soldier - past and present.
