Military Honors

Thursday night we had a wonderful dinner held in honor of Mark's
retirement from the NC Army National Guard. During the evening
several of his buddies talked about Mark's leadership, friendship
and influence in their lives. He also received several awards.
The greatest honor was the presentation of the "de Fleury" medal.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...
