Tonight's blog is in tribute to a young American Marine, "Grant" who just came home from Afghanistan on Tuesday of this week, after a 7 month tour. He told me he had been involved in some very bad fighting with the Taliban and he was quite glad to be home. He serves at the U.S. Marine base, on Coronado Island, Amphibious Division. His Wife, "Angel" had made up this banner in the picture below and strung it on the front of their 5th Wheel Trailer, which is right across the road from our unit. I met him tonight as he was trying to start his motorcycle that had not been going since he left on tour, and had a dead battery. He got a new battery, and the bike started up with little problem. He is only about 25 years old, and his Wife seemed to be REAL happy that he was back home on U.S. soil! He tells me he will have the next month off work to relax, and then back to work! He is a very brave young man!
This afternoon this cat came around, and I thought he was hungry, but was just looking for someone to pet him...
We made it back in time to hit the hot tub tonight where we met a couple that live about an hour and a half east of here up in the mountains.... about the same spot we just came from. They have come here for a few days to help out with a charity motorcycle ride to be held in the Resort this coming Saturday, in support of Abused Children.
Till tomorrow...
