How much do you love the town you live in?

Very sorry for your loss but I'm sure you're proud of him.

I can relate but as soon as I got away I never wanted to go back, though I might have felt differently if my father had been a fallen war hero.  As a boy I got the standard military haircuts until I got to high school.  As soon as I got out on my own I grew my hair as long as it would go, you know, in rebellion and to celebrate my freedom.  Now I'm back to wearing it short, celebrating my freedom from all that hot, stuffy, inconvenient hair.

Assuming they're of age, feel free to share the other photos in Area 69.  

I am very proud of him but more so my mother. She did everything he did army wise (well to a degree since she wasn't a ranger but she was Calvary) plus she raised three daughters, kept house, and took care of bills. She retired after 23 years but still works on Ft. Hood as a civilian. I never rebelled except to tell my ex I wouldn't be an military wife because I wouldn't be separated from my family. Being an army brat I have only seen my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc about 3 times in my life. As sad as this is I wouldn't be exactly beside myself if they passed. I refuse to have that with my children and they -will- know their extended family. I do so love the rest of military life though.

You are very naughty and I will pass on sharing their photo shoots ;p

Thank you for posting those pictures; they are all stunning! I knew it was pretty out your way but that was wonderful to see first hand pictures from someone that lives there! To think you live in such an old building! The oldest buildings here are all museums due to there not being many of them (Texas independence caused quite the war and destroyed more than a few things) I love the idea of living in an old warehouse!
