Wow Judy, that had to been a truly awesome photo.
It just proves that technology is a great tool but old fashion man and horse
power still is required!

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of
their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)

Cindy, I'm looking forward to reading that Medals of Honor recipients book
eventually, too. Thank you again for taking over proofreading it, when I
couldn't. smile.
Just saw a new book come into the collection on the Horse Soldiers (U.S.
Unit that won over the war lords in Afghanistan). Can't wait to read that
one either. One of my friends is a USMC Cobra pilot that was part of that
action, and he sent me some amazing photographs at the time from
Afghanistan. One is of a group of American soldiers and Afghan fighters,
all on horseback and wearing Afghan robes. One of the soldiers is using a
Toughbook laptop identical to the one I use and a laser sight to guide in
a Naval fighter pilot's strike against a Taliban unit. It portrays an
amazing contrast between the traditional horse mounted unit in desert garb
coordinating with and using state-of-the-art airborne weapons systems for
support.
