We had the opportunity to go to the 82ND Airborne Division Review so I kept the kids out of school and Thursday morning we got up at 4:30 to get to Fort Bragg by 6 a.m. We got the closest seating to the podium. In this picture you can see all the troops lined up, they filled the huge field from one end to the other. Amazing and inspiring!
Awesome flyby's from the Army's Air Support including Apache, Black hawks, Chinooks, and Fighter jets.
Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas Capel, President Bush and Commanding Major General David Rodrigeuz returning from walking the entire field reviewing all the troops.
Garrett and Gavin got a boost up from these nice soldiers onto their Apache helicopter.
Garrett thinking he would like to fly this Black hawk someday.
President Bush arriving to the ceremonies, check out all the secret service and security.
We were pretty close and it was pretty surreal actually seeing our President in person.
Super cool paratroopers dropped out from a Blackhawk and all landed perfectly on the mark! I love the American flag this one had attached to his chute.
Massing of colors, can't tell you how many times I got the chills!
President Bush passing in front of us to go and walk the field and inspect all the troops.

Hey Jan -whata cool day. You had great seats... great pics...I really love the pic of Garrett in the blackhawk! And the troops and those red beret's...whata sight. Did you think how amazing to be looking at the man with the world on his shoulders aka Mr. President or Dub-ya? That is what I thought when we saw him last year in Jamestown...it's such crazy excitement. Good times.
