Notations On Our World (Special Weekly Edition): Catching Up w/Our Editor.....

We had an opportunity to catch up with our Editor over the W-End as he was busy at a training at Camp San Luis Obispo--known as the original home of the California National Guard.    He was gracious enough to share these images he captured from a memorial grove dedicated to the fallen heroes of the California National Guard who died during Operation Iraqi Freedom

As He explained it, the first image is where the groove is that is centered with a retired F4 Fighter Jet from the California National Guard.   He also captured one of the images (as he told us he unfortunately ran out of battery!!)

We salute all the fallen and their families as we remember them in our thoughts & prayers.
