Three flags were flying at Balboa Park in San Diego. I thought of my men- three of them- husband, son and son-in-law, three of the millions in this generation who have served our country.

Oh my goodness...what a surprise to see this post. My son graduated from SDSU in 2001..same weekend, same building, same pictures in front of the same beautiful building.
I went there for two years, then tranferred to another school, my mom was there for two years and my dad graduated from there in 1950.
Congrats on your well-educated brood. And a special high five if all the degrees are already paid for!
