PICTURE THIS
Every now and then I come across a photo, or several photos, that I think you might enjoy seeing.
I'll post it -- or them -- here for a week or so until I find one or more replacement pictures.
Honoring America

From an email dated 8-27-10. Thanks, Chuck.
Czech people are teaching their children about America's sacrifice for their freedom. It is amazing that most schools here in the U.S. are not teaching this!
Have you ever wondered if anyone in Europe remembers America's sacrifice in World War II? The answer is "yes" in a small town in the Czech Republic. The town called Pilsen (Plzen).
Every five years Plzen conducts the Liberation Celebration of the City of Pilsen in the Czech Republic. May 6th, 2010 marked the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Pilsen by General George Patton's 3rd Army.
Pilsen is the town that every American should visit. Because they love America and the American Soldier. Even 65 years later. Thousands of citizens of Pilsen came to say thank you, lining the streets of Pilsen for miles.
From large crowds -- to quiet reflective moments.

 The way back home.
