Mount Rushmore - what an awesome sight. It literally brings tears to your eyes. We live in such a great country. We have our freedom because of men like these leaders and men and women who have given their lives for us. I'm feeling a little melancholy today. A Knox County soldier was brought home last night. He lost his life in Baghdad Iraq. His jeep was blown up. Spf. Caleb Lufkin's mother, Marcy Grosline, is a nurse at my doctor's office. (you know his mother, Patty. The two of you worked together at Cottage Hospital) Me, Mom and Jerri Anne waited for three hours for the motorcade bringing his body to Hinchcliff, Pearson and West Funeral Home last night. Thousands were lined up and down Fremont Street waiting to pay their respects to him and his family. The motorcade appeared around midnight...
The day we visited Mount Rushmore, it was overcast with threats of rain, but thankfully we got to see the monument before the rain began. Upon entry to Mount Rushmore there is a walkway known as Avenue of the States. Each state's flag and a plaque with the state's stats is represented.
