Blogathon 2010 - Troop Xing & the Call to Prayer

It seems fitting that Blogathon 2010, in honor of the Wounded Warrior Project, would begin at a military installation. In the span of a week, it has become nothing out of the ordinary for me to see men and women in uniform. Granted, that should be an obvious one, given my location, but having grown up in a rural area, the only military personnel I ever see are recruiters and reservists. Now, suddenly, I'm becoming accustomed to such things as "Troop Xing" signs and music at 6:15 in the morning, that sounds across the base. It's sort of like the call to prayer. But not really.
