My daughter and granddaughter finding the name of CPL Richard Rudd that saved their dad/grandad in Vietnam. It was freezing today. By the evening, it was down to 11 degrees and windy. BRRRRR!

It was freezing cold this night, Minus 10 degrees with the wind chill. After we left here, we walked down the mall toward the Washington Monument. It was there that Nathan and Shoshona extended their hospitality to us and invited us into their tipi for the first time. They saved us with us with a small child in tow. We found that we had friends in common from the Navajo Reservation. What a small world.
