Beauty

Creating and maintaining an aesthetically pleasing community of enduring worth

My son, Kevin, returned for a second assignment in Iraq. He left from Ft. Bragg, SC on Aug. 19. There was a ceremony on the evening of Aug. 18 on my front porch. We hung a flag, shared his history in the Army, and ate one of his favorite foods, chocolate. There were sheets of paper to write messages to Kevin. I especially appreciate the support for me of this community. read more
