While showing houses for sale in Watertown CT today, I had passed what appeared to be eagles on a hunt. I let it go until the end of my visits and then came back to them. It was a group of 3 eagles that appeared to be diving to catch a potential meal.
The largest of the 3 eagles had a sign encouraging photos as well as the notation: Eagles Watching Over you."
Draped around the eagles head was a chain which had 6 tags attached to it. The first tag just read, Forever Mourned, Forever Honored.
On the other 5 tags were the names of family members, all last named White that had served and fallen in battle.
The history of this family's heroes started at a Capt White that had served in the Continental Army, 3 members that served in WWll, and the last had fallen in the Korean conflict.
This is a family that can trace it's honored service people to over 240 years. There can be few others that can say the same.
