I was hoping you would have some info as to what was going on at the High School today. I had to detour away from the school to get back at my house because there was such a crowd and Franklin was closed. I was wondering what was going on.
Your photoblog is awesome Jim. Thanks for sharing. What a welcome home for these men and women and what a great day for their families. Many blessings to the 112th Battalion and their friends and families.
