Today was the Hail and Farewell Ceremony for the 193rd MP Unit based out of Denver, Colorado. A portion of Jonathan's engineer company is attached and will be deployed with the MPs. The 101st Band played as the soldiers marched into the Douglas County Event Center. Only a few more days and they will depart for their assignment. The program included singing the Army Song -- "The cassions go rolling along..." and the National Anthem.
Frank and I wore matching shirts which were given to us by Dave and Susan at Christmas time. The Blue Star represents a deployed family member. We'll be proudly displaying a similar banner on our front door. And the oak tree out front will be festooned with yellow ribbons when the unit returns.
