Here are three of my favorites – Jason, Lauren and Ellyn, at Lauren’s graduation from Basic Training at Fort Jackson, SC. Lauren hadn’t met Steve yet, so he isn’t in this photo, but he too served in the Army.
Not a great photo. I took it with my first digital camera which was a Sony Mavica. It stored the photos on floppy disks, was roughly the size of a toaster and at only 1.3 megapixels, it had all the ooomph my little camera phone has now. I remember this day so well and it’s hard to believe it was 6 years ago. Lauren has just a few months left of her deployment and a couple months after that her enlistment is up and they will all be Veterans instead of active duty. Proud as I am of all of them, I will breathe a sigh of relief.
Thanks to all of those who have served or are serving our country.
Now, before you leave – go visit my daughter Ellyn’s blog. She is donating to a great cause this month, based on the traffic to her blog. You don’t have to do a thing – just go to the post. It would be nice if you said hi – you could thank her for being a Veteran!
I love the picture!
I still operate with a Sony Mavica. My husband was given a huge box of disks at work so we will never run out. I doubt that I ever give up my Sony until it goes to that Great Camera Burial Ground in the Sky.
Off to Ellyn’s blog!
Wow! I bet you will be glad when Lauren becomes a Veteran, too. I went to Ellyn’s site already! Thanks to all Veterans today and always.
I had a Sony Mavica, too! It was the BEST camera ever… until I got my Pentax 3mp. :)
Thanks mom.
And thanks to all who came to help with my project.
Love the photos… Happy Veterans DAy… Went to visit your daughters blog too fantastic blog!
Hugs Laura
