Thursday marked the official activation of the new squadron that Ben belongs to. It was pretty awesome to see this ceremony (even though my attention wasn't completely focused on it with Kendall and Isaac at the helm) Forever Ben will be "plank owner" #142 in HML/A 467. (Basically a "founding father" is my best way to explain it....Ben will have to tell you the plank story.) Ben and one of our friends from HML/A 269 got to be the platoon commanders for the ceremony. I am attaching pictures on here of the ceremony....we were in the hangar so it is kind of hard to tell which one Ben is in the pictures. Thus, a new chapter in our military life has begun...please keep us, the new command, and all of our military in your prayers.
This is a video clip from the actual ceremony that was passed on to us.

If you scroll down the blog page, in my favorite places to visit there is the site for 467 where you can see more on the new squadron.
Thanks for taking pictures for me Claire! I wouldn't have been able to do it without you!
