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&#8217;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.  <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all of those who have served or are serving our country.<\/p>\n<p>Now, before you leave &#8211; go visit my daughter Ellyn&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/pieceoheaven.blogspot.com\/\">blog<\/a>.  She is donating to a great cause this month, based on the traffic to her blog.  You don&#8217;t have to do a thing &#8211; just go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/pieceoheaven.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/shameless-blog-promotion.html\">post<\/a>.
