God Bless America....

[John D.]

A few minutes ago, I received two outstanding photographs and e-mail from a fellow Parker Collector and friend - Charlie Herzog Sr. The pictures are outstanding alone, but, for those who know Charlie - he had a few words to add.. His words captured how I feel about this incredible & wonderful country we call America, and as well, wanted to share them with the rest of you.

"...I was standing outside a bit ago and thought it prudent to photograph our American Flag, and then forward it to you gents for whatever it may do for you today..

I caption this photo as "God Bless America" .. Tonight before you go to be bed, please give a moment to this scene, and give thanks for all we have.."

Yep - Parkers, this amazing country and our friends we have met through this hobby - are what people and Parkers are all about..

And, Charlie's pictures which stirred me to write this post are even more stunning...

Thank you Charlie. Thank you to all veterans, past, present and future. And as well, thanks to all our friends.
