We got to spend two days there, going to the HUGE infantry museum on base at Fort Benning, going to Ruby Tuesday's for a birthday dinner and just spending time with the family. At the final ceremony (and there were a lot, it is the Army after all) we all got little flags. I took this picture en route to the airport for our flight home. I wanted to forever capture the quiet peace of this moment. The feeling of being surrounded by family, incredibly proud and just plain happy.
