Home again.....!

Well if you like dining at the White House, riding around Washington in limos with police escorts, sirens wailing, being delivered to the door of the White House and the Pentagon, having two army sergeants at your beck and call, dining with the Secretary of the army it's commanding general and Hollywood actors and staying on the "presidential" floor of the Marriott Crystal City then this trip was for you! Personally, I enjoyed the hell out of it! It's a tough adjustment coming home and having to drive your own car. Bummer!

Honestly I have never been so humbled and honored in all my life to be around such men as my friends of the 1st Cav who fought in the Ia Drang and especially honored to be considered such a friend to the Medal of Honor recipient Bruce Crandall and his wife Arlene that I was invited to be one of their honored guests. So honored that I had an adjoining room to their family suite. A once in a life time experience puts it only mildly.

I took over 500 pictures of the events from the ceremony to the pentagon "Hall of Heroes" induction, to our private reception at Arlington National Cemetary. I'm putting together a CD for the Crandall's, Ia Drang Vets and other guests. Also I'll have a slideshow of the highlights on the web soon.

Coming home was made a little easier seeing D. Daphne Dog wagging her tail furiously when she saw I was home......!
