Memorial Day 2011


Here are a few pictures from our last Memorial Day celebration. Although Mr. Brown was in Europe with Vision Forum, there were still a lot of people there. My father gave a few short messages. This year we had some really neat speakers. There was Woody Williams, the last surviving Iwo Jima Medal of Honor winner. You can read about his story here. and Mr. Glass, a Holocaust survivor. Here are a few pictures:

Memorial Day 2010

Monday our church held our annual Memorial Day picnic at Mr. Brown's farm. About 1200 people came. It was a good time of honoring the veterans and preaching the gospel. My job was to take pictures, and here are a few of the 1000 I took.
