Army Band.
Me and my friend Tanya.
Here they all come, over 4000 troops.
There was a Naturalization ceremony of U.S. Army troops where 20 troops from 13 diff. countries became U.S. Citizens this day.
This is the Battalion William is in; 3-21 IN BN of the 125th Stryker Brigade Combat Team. AKA the Arctic Wolves, how cute!
There was a lot of media present because this ceremony took place the same week that Senator McCain announced Governor Palin as his running mate.

Rolling the flags and putting them away until the redeployment ceremony next year.
In over 4,000 troops I amazingly found William and was barely able to take a picture of him. He walked right by me and never saw me. It was like playing the most difficult game of "Where's William(Waldo)" ever!
Governor Sarah Palin spoke at the ceremony. I was able to walk right up to her, great security??? Palin's son is in the same company as William.
On post at Ft. Wainwright after the ceremony. We thought we would take one last nice (not so nice of me actually, my face was puffy from crying so much) picture together before I had to leave. We had a nice long walk back to the company. It was a long and cold day, in the 40's on metal bleachers for at least 3 hours with minimal sunshine.
This is our favorite restaurant in Fairbanks, Brewster's. Our final picture together until William's R & R, whenever that might be.
