Easter Weekend Pics – Part I

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Chief Gunner’s Mate Thomas Eadie (US Navy) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on December 18, 1927 off Provincetown, Massachusetts . His citation reads:

For display of extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession above and beyond the call of duty on 18 December 1927, during the diving operations in connection with the sinking of the U.S.S. S-4 with all on board, as a result of a collision off Prividencetown, Mass. On this occasion when Michels, Chief Torpedoman, U.S. Navy, while attempting to connect an airline to the submarine at a depth of 102 feet became seriously fouled, Eadie, under the most adverse diving conditions, deliberately, knowingly, and willingly took his own life in his hands by promptly descending to the rescue in response to the desperate need of his companion diver. After 2 hours of extremely dangerous and heartbreaking work, by his cool, calculating, and skillful labors, he succeeded in his mission and brought Michels safely to the surface.

Picture Tuesday

These first 3 pics are from the start of our trip... in the Summerville Chick-fil-A

For any of you who were at the lake in November, I just wanted to show you that there is water in the lake now.

The start of the zip-line

With all there is to do at the lake... sometimes the best thing is to just take a nap

Another pic of the start of the zip-line.
