I didn't take this picture today, but it's one of my favorites and I couldn't think of a more appropriate post for this day. The balloon is called "In Their Honor" and is piloted by Cyndi Joseph of Houston, TX. I had the privilege of riding in this balloon -- and then shooting pictures of it -- at the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival in Foley a few years ago. Today I remember that so many have given their lives for my freedoms and I post this in their honor.
