This mural is found in Hinesville right outside the gates to Fort Stewart, Army military base. Presented for all Veterans to see.
I have an Apple Watch and Apple TV plus the workout fitness app. Each year Apple makes the special challenge for any 11 minute workout. Yes, I completed a walk today! Yeah!
This year Neal planned for us to drive to Fort Stewart, Army military base on Veterans Day.
Knowing the Warriors Walk there held place in my heart and he once visited with me during a military 3/7 INF reunion.
Soldiers, brothers of my unit 3/7 Infantry who died during the Iraq War have trees planted in their honor in a stunning series of interlocking paths.
I really don’t talk much at all about my military experience so I thought it was very kind of Neal to suggest this day trip and not just another “free” once a year “veteran meal/biscuit/drink” most people/businesses/restaurants toss out to “those of us who served”.
Today, I paused to say thank you to every Veteran who has answered the call of duty.
Words can’t express how truly grateful I am for their courage, their service, and most of all, their sacrifice.
We are the land of the free because of the brave men and women who’ve vowed to make the ultimate sacrifice, if necessary, and for that we are forever grateful!
Together we passed rows of fallen service men and women as I show Neal memorials dedicated to the men “I knew”. A quiet… meaningful… 1.3 mile walk. No fanfare. No parade.
The challenge?
It just so happens that I have an Apple Watch and Apple TV plus the workout fitness app. This year Apple made the special challenge for any 11 minute workout, our case a walk.

Afterwards we picked up a cheesesteak sub and headed to the Veterans Park located in Hinesville just outside the military base.
The military has been a huge part of life having served 23 years in the United States Army. I thought I would share a few places I have been in my years of military travel.
Fort Richardson, Alaska
Yes, soldiers in the Arctic had to ski with rucks on their backs!
ROTC, Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, GA
Teaching first aid and logistics to students and cadets.

These beautifully crafted stained glass windows depict American airmen, angels, and aircraft. The detail of a service man or woman who sacrificed it all, carried to heaven. Accepted with open arms by One who knew all too well the toll, the weight of burdens carried like bomb laden aircraft.
Prayers held winged craft through anti-air barrages!
Flowers laid for many not ever to return. Only remembrances, tiny flickers of faces, laughter, dog tags, co-pilots ripped from cockpits over foreign lands. Again the nightmares, and the thankfulness in the same sweat soaked night. Any of remaining squadron members? 89 years ago. We remember for you!
Numbers on emblems sown to fabric, worn on shoulders. Painted on air chariots, cast on coins, carried in pockets of airmen today!
