Civic Duty

Today we had a chance to see the Mobile Vietnam Memorial Wall. The ceremony was very moving and patriotic. It is 3/4 size of the original wall in Washington, D.C.

Here's a closeup of one panel


Lots of vets in attendance


Even at 3/4 size it still has a big presence


Clint, Rachel, & Sarah in front of the wall

Air Force Vet parachuted into the ceremony carrying a big American flag.

Then we took time out to vote. Our regular early voting location was VERY busy (as it has been all week) so we tried another location in the county. We were very lucky and it had a short line when we got there!

Apparently Sarah was very bored with the idea of voting, she fell asleep! But it was close to nap time so maybe that was the reason. Rachel fell asleep as soon as she was back in the car.

Go McCain!
