God Bless Our Troops!
Even though he's in an operational zone, I think he's just a bit overdressed for the maternity ward..
Maybe just the flak jacket and pistol?
The M-16 is a bit over the top for me.
bob...amen! Thank you for stopping by!
jormengrund..Your observation is valid. my purpose for posting is to show the goodness in our soldiers, in all situations. Not to mention, I am thinking of babies this week! Thanks for stopping by!
I was thinking how sad to have to carry a gun into the hospital to visit the maternity ward. But that is the reality of their lives right now. And I caught on to the fact that this was a baby related posting....how wonderfully precious. I can't wait to hear more details about your new precious angel. Your girls are just so beautiful, hope all is going well. Have a wonderful day and weekend!!!
I have to get back to painting now!
lisa...I agree with your viewpoint, it is where they are right now. My daughter and her daughter are recovering nicely, thank you for asking.
I think this is a classic photo. The innocence of the nursery and the danger of the war zone protected by the American Warrior.
