picture Pride

last night I gave the two pics i took and framed to the guys at the vfw. I really thought they were just gonna say OH thanks, and think nothing of it.  I honestly thought they wouldnt care. John brought me into the meeting to give the pics without permission from the leader and I almost was banished from the room. then, I was allowed to present it to the Commander and I left. it took all of maybe five minutes. After they came out of the meeting for the break, they came over and thanked me and gave me so many complimants. I was even asked if I was a professional Photographer. HUH???? no. I just got two really good shots  with a pocket camera. they even asked if I touched them up or change the settings. nope. These are the two pics. the first one is my favorite. I thought maybe the flag had been taken down when the building burned and that may have been why it didnt burn. well, i found out last night it was there the whole time. it get illuminated at night so it was up. Our
flag is strong, just like our country. one guy even said I should copyright these two shots. I dont know about that. but I was so happy about this, I just had to tell you. hope your having a great day.
