Grammy just let the TB have a little rest at the Bug Embassy before beginning a longer journey. However, her trip to Florida would not help the TB with its misson so I am going to help it along myself. I am not military minded, so this was odd for me! After being denied entrance to Fort Lewis because my car insurance proof wasn't current, I had to come back a week later. I thought this would be an in , take a picture, and out, but I ended up spending about 2 hours in the museum. The historical exhibits were interesting, but I spent the most time looking at each picture of the heroes of the Stryker unit that had given their lives in Iraq. Most were young men with their whole lives in front of them, leaving behind their families, girlfriends, wives, and children. I shed a few tears for people I did not know. It seems that war never proves who's right, it only proves who's left. Yet, I admire and appreciate the brave men who answer the call to defend our freedom and the freedom of others. After thousands of years, surely we could have found a better way!! Thanks for the opportunity to visit a place that I would have never seen.
