My good friend Joe was Killed in Action on May 29, 2007 while he was deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom. His anniversary to his wife was this past Labor Day so we met them in Washington D.C. at the Arlington National Cemetery to pay tribute to him and his wife Jen. Joe and Jen’s parents were able to make it, a friend of Jen’s, and old friend of ours Bobby and his girlfriend was there too. It was very difficult but his wife is an amazing, strong, loving woman and it was great to laugh and cry together. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
We were also able to see the Vietnam Memorial and Korean War Memorial. It was a very humbling experience. Thank you to those Veteran’s in the past that may not have gotten the support that we do today. I salute you. CPT BENJAMIN J. VINCENT

Jonas and Ben had so much fun together. I know Jonas can't wait until his lil' sis gets big enough to play with too.
Ben and I spent the night in a cabin with my sister and her family at Petit Jean. We went hiking on the Cedar Fall Overlook trail. It was a short trail (1/4 mi) but that's about all I could handle with two dogs and a 6 month old baby. Ben was great but Lucy almost didn't make it back. :) It was nice to spend some time with family and show off my state. Arkansas truly is a beautiful state.
