Duck

This is a post I did several years ago, back in 2004.  It somehow dropped out of the archives and into a black hole that only Google can get to - so I'm reposting it, this time for Facebookers.

No, not you. I'm talking about, 'Duck'.

A mother duck looks on as one of her brood falls over while trying to scale a curb. The duck was leading her six ducklings back to their nest in front of the Arkansas Arts Center and came back to help one who was too small to make it over the curb.

When I saw this picture a couple of days ago I was reminded of Duck. My last job on active duty was with the WMD Response Task Force - West (now Joint Task Force -West (CM) (Consequence Management), based out of 5th Army Headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Fort Sam is in San Antonio, and is one of the older forts west of the Mississippi. Fifth Army (now known as ARNORTH) is headquartered in the old arsenal site, called the Quadrangle.
