					<description><![CDATA[:) What fun! I haven&#039;t been to a &#039;ball&#039; in forever. Sometimes it&#039;s nice to just get all gussied up and go out. But a military ball? That&#039;s icing on the cake! The ceremony and the uniforms and the servicepersons...sends a chill up my spine and brings tears to my eyes!

If I had been sitting that close to the dessert bar, I would have made a few trips. They always have those yummy little cream puff things with the chocolate swan heads...I could gobble them up one after another!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Military balls can be a bit of an eye-opener, that&#039;s for sure.  My husband has been in the Army for 18 years now.  He recently got promoted to E-7, which means in order to him to take advantage of it for retirement, he&#039;s got to stay in three more years.  It would be an understatement to say that I&#039;m looking forward to when he retires.  I&#039;m getting a bit tired of playing all the games involved.  Don&#039;t get me wrong, I have the ultimate respect for those who serve this great nation of ours, but the games that one must play to get ahead seem so childish sometimes.  My husband wants to be a school teacher after he retires which I think is really awesome.  He&#039;s such a great leader and molds new soldiers into finely tuned military machines.  I can imagine that his ability to mold and shape lives for the better would translate well into being a teacher.  It&#039;s been so long since I&#039;ve visited your blog.  I went out and got my own domain and put my blog on it.  We moved to Georgia in September of last year and then my mom passed away in November.  It&#039;s been a struggle getting settled and getting back on track.  This summer I&#039;m going to be going back to school, so I might not be blogging much during that time.  I&#039;ll have to see.  Okay, I&#039;ve rambled on long enough in this comment.  I&#039;ll be visiting more often now.  Ta for now dahling!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Goldfish, grog, and guardsmen.  What a combination!  Sounds to me like you had a great seat being near the dessert buffet.  YUM!

I think the Military Ball is a nice way for these men, who spent so much time together overseas, to reunite and be honored for their service to our country.  Dusty&#039;s story was so amazing.  God bless him for his service and courage.  And thank you Mark for all the years of serving our country.   Words can&#039;t express the gratitude for the sacrifices you have made.  It is greatly appreciated!    :camouflage:]]></description>
