Weekend Snapshot # 18 - b-17 bomber

This Sunday we went driving around after church to see if we could see any tornado damage since one hit about 5 miles from our house.  There were a lot of trees down and ripped in half but the houses we saw looked untouched.

During our drive, we stumbled upon this memorial which is about 8 miles from where we live.  There is no sign in front of the memorial and we had to back up after we passed it to take some pictures.

Here are a couple of links about the B-17 memorial site:

  4. Oh wow, what an interesting find!

  5. That’s interesting. How good of those scouts!

  6. You captured not just the image, but the meaning as well. Have a great week! :-)

  7. Isn’t it funny how we don’t know about the things closest to home. I travel on business and I visit the attractions in the areas where visit (when I have time). One day I need to pretend I’m visiting my own home area and try to find and experience the things in my own home town that I wouldn’t usually do.
