This is part of the Memorial to Alaskan Veterans that we found along the road from Wasilla to Anchorage. There are five of these concrete markers -- one for each branch of the armed forces. Guess if you can't tell, I am a proponent for recognizing the men and women who have and are serving to preserve my (AND YOUR) freedom. The young man who led our tour at Eielson Air Force, when I thanked him for his service, he said something to the effect, "I serve so you can be free to enjoy this wonderful country of ours." What a message!
This picture is looking down one of the main streets in downtown Anchorage where we drove tonight. It just struck me the beauty of the building with the mountains on each side in the background.Tomorrow we will move farther south and it appears we will have more beautiful scenes to look at. We feel so blessed to be healthy physically and financially able to do what we are doing. It seems our devotionals are tying right in to all the beauty that lies around us. God is good and we are certainly praising him for His continued protection and His love. We continue to pray for many of our friends and church family at home as well.
