True? Or not?

We would like to thank the Clayton County Police, Clayton County Fire Department, and Georgia Power for coming out to repair the downed power lines today! A dump truck driver apparently forgot to lower her bed and snagged them as she drove under.

Jim Ratteree Sr served in WWII as a Marine Corp Corporal from 1943 -1945, going in at the age of 18. He was stationed in Guam (first combat duty) and Iwo Jima. This beautiful, handmade quilt is a gift from Mrs. Cindy Dean Eckstein to thank him for his service to our country.

Hope you are feeling triumphant today!
