The Shield

She still waves!

Twenty years ago today I was on active duty with the United States Air Force.  I was part of the shield defending the United States from attack.  My grandson, Anthony, was approaching his second birthday.

Ten years ago today I was traveling in Germany, Anthony was in school, and his young brother was approaching his first birthday.  The shield was dented when the towers fell.

Today, I’m at home, Anthony’s brother is home, and his wife cares for their daughter who celebrated her 1st bitrhday in July.  Anthony is on duty with the United States Air Force Reserve.

Today Anthony is part of the shield.  Thank you to Anthony, the members of his Air Reserve unit, and his fellow airmen, soldiers, sailors, and marines.
