Red, white and ... birthday wishes

~ July 16

A birthday greeting for an American hero. Wishing you all the best. Happy Birthday!

 

(and is there ever a story to go with this shot....risked my life to get this ... well, maybe that's an exaggeration ... but there was tornado warning... and it did get dark, windy and rainy ... and I was stuck at the asylum ... and the road flooded and there were big branches down... and I did have to move about 20 doors (there are more doors piled in that place than there are doorways... I don't get it!) and 10 shutters and 2 windows... oh, and a toilet, to claim this setting.... did I mention that it was 90 degrees? And it took me 5 outings to two different locations to get this somewhat right ... and unfortunately, there were prop casualties. : ( And there were ticks, lots of ticks... and mosquitoes ... And I do still have poison ivy to look forward to from picking flowers on roadsides... and fortunately no one saw me pick the roses on the median in an apartment complex.... But.... I did get to buy a bag of cool little green Army men.... oh wait... they're Marines!! I know... you've heard enough... and you're not impressed.... sigh) Happy Birthday anyway, to the most patriotic American that I have ever met.
