On the March

Soldiers, rucksacks in place, marching, calling cadence: "Sound off, one two. Sound off, three four." "Hooah" 6/4/15

Thanks, Andrea! My husband is retired Air Force, my youngest son did 4 years in the Army and then the reserves and my oldest son is currently active duty Army. Plus I live outside a large Air Force Base (Eglin). I quite frequently have military on my mind - kind of hard not to.
