Hail and Farewell


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.
