Last weekend we took a little drive through Luxembourg and Belgium. We visited the American Military Cemetery in Luxembourg. It is very sobering walking through and seeing all the white crosses. Especially when you think about how young most of the men were, and the fact that they gave their lives that others would have freedom. After that we drove to Bastogne, where the Battle of the Bulge was fought. The story of the battle was engraved on the walls of the memorial. It was a fascinating battle. The countryside of Belgium reminded me of the Midwest, too. Most of the time when you're driving through European villages they are just so cute and old fashioned. In Belgium I felt like I was back home in Iowa there for a little bit.

Jennifer, I loved your pictures and I love the way you are raising your family! Your children will remember all of these wonderful places and what it means to be American and the people who have given their life for this Country!!! God Bless you, Jamie, AJ, and Kaitlin
How neat! I'm working on David and the idea of coming to visit! He is much more willing! Now I just need to get a form and start on his passport!
Love,
Krista
