This blog header photo was taken on the grounds of Thomas Road Baptist Church. This display of flags was placed soon after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had produced 3,000 death among the American miliatary.
You will notice a small yellow ribbon attached to each flag. The yellow ribbons each had the name of one of those who had given their life in the service of this country. There were just over 3,000 flags in total. Among those who were searching for the flags dedicated to their loved ones, there were a handful of active duty military. It was a very somber event and the tone was reverent and subdued. It was quite a tribute to our nation's military men and women.
The woman taking the photograph in the picture is my wife.
