Re: Vacation is over
Some final pics that Lynda took in Utah.
First the Grand Canyon and a wonderful friendly man we had some laughs with. This is Alan, he was on duty at the gate. Next person of interest was a very friendly Highway Patrol Officer. Lynda asked if she could take a pic of him by his car. He was just finishing up dinner with his wife after work. We talked for quite some time with him and his wife. Wish I could remember their names. Now I know how they keep their hats so pristine looking. Another person of interest was an American Soldier we met while having a late breakfast one day. I don't do ranks very well so I will just call him Mr. Hodgson. Hope the spelling is correct. This one man and his brothers in uniform are the reasons so many of us live in a free country. Mr. Hodgson does not fight on the front lines but still has been to all of them in the last 27 years. I do wish I had taken his pic to show everyone here. His specialty is in the medical field and his knowledge and expertise helps the Docs and Nurses a tremendous amount. He sees many injured men and women to assess their condition by way of x-rays and all the other modern tech equipment in a front line hospital. His results from testing etc likely save many lives and assure the most needy are helped first. I guess basically he is a modern day MASH technologist who has dedicated his life to his country and the folks who defend it. When not on the front lines his time is spent teaching his trade and upgrading his skills. I was very humbled by Mr. Hodgson and thanked him for his service. Mr. Hodgson is a fine polite speaking gentleman and a credit to his country and uniform. When we parted I thanked him again and shook his hand. |
