7 rifles x 3 volleys = 21-gun salute

I'm sorry for your loss, but am glad you have known some heroes in your life.

And Patti, we all know which side you were on!! LOL
I'm thinking the same thing????

One question though....is Star going to want as many pages as the rest????

Rest, massage and limber up those fingers...

I have been there too, Joanne. It is an impressive place. I also found it to be a very sad place. PBS had a show about Arlington and how many it takes to keep it going and the trained members of the Armed Forces that work there. It was really interesting!

Have fun on your trip! :D Nothing like a 10 yr old grandson!! :wink:

The guess that comes closest ... as in ... if she foals tomorrow ... <g> then whoever was the first date by the time she foals before the last entry ... would be the one who would win ...

I am just guessing ... but, that would be my guess.
If baby came today, then the person closest to that date would be the winner ... even if the first date guess was ... hmmm July 6, if no one guessed earlier than that, then Omak would win :D ...
is that about clear as mud?

I think thats right....whoever had the 1st vote would win if she foaled right now....but since the guesses aren't closed for Terri's list yet, you just know that won't happen anyway. I don't really think we need to worry about it.


AND...for some reason, I'm thinking ya'll are putting me on the totally wrong side of that little teeter totter!!! :roll:

That won't happen! I talked with Star and she said she's holding off for my date/time. :)
