prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

National Guard Deployment Ceremony.

160 National Guard soldiers are flying from Monroe to Afghanistan this afternoon. They are from this area. They held a Deployment Ceremony this morning in a church in West Monroe. The Ruston VFW Post set up 50 flags in front of the church.







Bobby Jindal was the main speaker. I think that he did a great job.


It was a well done ceremony and I am glad that I attended. It was quite a family affair. Lots of children.

The picture below is of Paul Foreman, a fellow member of the Ruston VFW. He was far away and my flash did not do him justice. But that is Paul
