Veterens Day


Lt. Col. Chesley

There is a missionary couple here in San Angelo whom I have become good friends with, the Chesley's. Elder Chesley was an F-4 pilot during the Viet-Nam war. He was shot down and captured and became a POW for SEVEN years at the Hanoi Prison Camp.
He is the coolest guy ever and has spent many hours relating his experiences to me. I feel very honored to know a true American Hero.

To help honor veterens I participated in the church's float for the parade. It was great fun!

We made the float out of colored napkins and a chicken wire fence!
