Happy Veteran's Day


We stopped at a rest area on the interstate (I-40) in Warsaw, NC. I was perplexed to see a Howitzer on the lawn not all that far from the "facilities". I had to go over and read about it. A nice idea, but still a strange location to my mind.

Thanks to all who served to keep our country safe. May God bless and protect you.

    A terrible thing in my mind. We don't need them!

      I don't understand. What is it that you're saying we don't need?

    Odd, but maybe on a busy highway, more people will see it there and stop.

    We spent Veterans Day on a military base during our Snowbird Road Trip. We enjoy RV parks on bases. - Margy

    It was nice to see so many people thinking of their mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers, sons and daughters who have or are serving.
