Day 44

What a FUN day it's been in Tennessee!

When we were loading in the set, Myra met up with Ginger from the Quilts of Valor foundation to quilt the 20th veteran of our trip! Ralph Rogers was a private in the Army who was drafted into WWII when he was 18 years old. He was a POW and survived german capture for more than three months in 1945 during the height of WWII. 

Our hosts for our official Tennessee stop of our tour was the Old Glory Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. For more than 120 years, the DAR has been dedicated to preserving American History and securing the future through better education for children. They are an incredible group of ladies! 

The crowd for the show was so much fun, and included our good friend Joseph Land from Camp Liberty, our good friends Linda & Tom who we met during the 75th Anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France, a man who looked remarkably like Santa Claus, and a very sweet 102-Year Old WWII Veteran! 

After the show, Jack, Myra, Dan and Erinn took our last bit of energy to drive to Nashville and see the lights of Broadway at night. We didn't stay long, but took in the atmosphere of the live music EVERYWHERE.

​Tennessee will always have a special place in our hearts.
