Pat's old stomping ground....what a honor

There is just nothing like the Honor of The Old Guard. Pat was a proud member of the Old Guard in his enlisted days in the Army. While in VA we took a trip to his old stomping grounds to show the boys where Daddy started his awesome career as a Soldier. Pat was on the drill team and took part in all the major ceremonies for the President of the U.S.

All through out Arlington, Austin would stop and salute

Changing of the Guard and wreath laying


We enjoyed this trip to show the boys that all the people buried there sacrificed something for them. We want them to grow to respect and appreciate the sacrifices our military members have made and continue to make.

I am also very proud to come from a military family and to have married one of the best Soldiers I know.
