TATTOO

Anna, Matt, and Jacob

On Friday, June 27, I took Jacob to Wright-Patterson's annual "Freedom's Call" Tattoo (poor Matt had to direct parking for the event and was out in the heat all day and late into the night). The festivities included music (the Air Force Band of Flight and the Charlie Daniels Band), aircraft flyovers (Jacob did NOT enjoy how loud the aircraft were), presentations to service members and civilians who have gone above and beyond to serve our military, and fireworks! There was also a surprise appearance from the air: Lt. Col. Rhonda Reichel parachuted out of a Cessna 182 over the show displaying the American flag during the singing of the National Anthem.

We had a really great time and it was great to see all the people that Matt works with again. We ran into Lt. Katie Born (our favorite nurse after Jacob was born), and we got to watch the fireworks with my friend Heather, her husband Joe, and their kids (Tyler and Justyne).
