Here is Jessica, Marilou and Jacob in front of Abraham Lincoln's Statue. They are STILL doing work on it. Its been under construction since I came out in 2002 with Marilou for my first interview with the state department.
Here Marilou, Jessica and Jacob stand in front of the gettysburg address. 'Them some big words.' In many, MANY ways.

Jessica and Jacob in the middel of the monument.
At the back of the monument is a wall of stars. A star is a representation of a life given in the war. "Here we mark the price of freedom."
What price will we have to pay for our freedom? Have we paid it? Are we still paying for it? Or is payment due?
I pray that when we are called to stand we will do so with Honor and Integrity.
