"Going in Style"

John Brinkley's Hearse

My husband and I are members of Rolling Thunder Chapter 6, which is a Veteran and MIA-POW Organization. John Brinkley helped start our local Chapter 6 of Rolling Thunder. He died of cancer weeks ago and his cremains were buried at the Indiana Veterans National Cemetery in Madison, Indiana on May 16th 2009. Nine members of Chapter #6, including myself and my husband Kevin, went to the memorial service. John Brinkley went in style and with the respect he deserved. If you gotta go, go in style. [When my time comes, I hope my hearse is as awesome as the one pictured. Of course I can wait, I am in no hurry. - Dee]

This photo was taken by Doretha Diefenbach-Hines [Copyright 2008 by Doretha Diefenbach-Hines]. It is the 2008 Christmas Eve Sunset - a gift of a beautiful painting from God to all of us. Becky & I witnessed this sunset last night and thought of how great God is. When we saw the sunset, we did not see geese flying across it... this makes Dee's photo even better. The photo was taken from their new home. Thanks, Dee & Kevin for sharing this special moment.

Merry Christmas !!
