My darling mumsy sent me a "little black dress" just in the nick of time...
Dave insisted on a "sexy" photo...
And one of gorgeous Hopie!
Then we drove over to Eagle Summit, about 20 minutes from our house. They did a beautiful job with the main gate. I don't know if you can see, but there is an eagle statue on either side of the gate, and a moose statue by the pond.
We had a time of visiting...
...and then the official ceremony started with the honor gaurd from Peterson AFB. In these pictures they are performing the 21 gun salute, and the flag ceremony to honor the wounded warriors and the veterans who died in combat. It was extremely moving to see these men with no hands putting a stub over their hearts for the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem.
John Ashcroft was one of the speakers, along with several other officers, one of whom read a personal letter from President Bush. It was awesome to hear the leaders of our country praising God and talking about their personal relationship with Him.

Once the ceremonies were over we took a tour of the lodge...
...and then back outside. I'm standing on the edge of a cliff, which is also the edge of the Lodge's parking lot.
We ended our time at Eagle Summit with a Luncheon where all of the wounded warriors who were there at the time shared a little bit of their story.

Well, aren't you the busy blogger:) Finally I see pictures of the little black dress and the beautiful gal wearing it. I'm so glad it was just right for the occasion. It sounds like a very moving service, and what a wonderful ministry they have there. Now, we have to figure out how to get N.H. involved!
yeah really it'd be perfect for him out here and I know he'd be touched
You gotta call/write to him. I think he's at the right place/time for it.
Is this ranch for servicemen with Post traumatic stress? You look great in the dress! Thanks for sharing your testimony, too. I laid in bed for a long time a few nights back and just prayed for you. I don't know why....just felt like God wanted me to. Love you, girl!
