My husband, Curt, is still in Afghanistan. This morning I was thinking of him as I spent some time looking for lions and lapis...things that make me think of Afghanistan and, specifically, the Panjshir Valley.
Here's a screenshot of the Treasury I came up with...
Curt's Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) is working hand in hand with other U.S. agencies and local Afghans within the Panjshir Province of Afghanistan. Why lions? Panjshir means "five lions" and is noted as the home to Ahmed Shah Massoud, known as the "Lion of Panjshir." Why lapis? It's pretty! And, he sends me some, occasionally. :)
If you're interested in seeing more about the PRT mission in Panjshir, here's a recent video that shows the importance of the relationships between the PRT folks and the local security forces.
That's a sweet treasury. My nephews all served and I'm glad they are home. I send you my thoughts for your loved one's safety and his safe return.
ReplyDeleteLovely treasury. I continue to pray for Curt and all the troops in Afghanistan and other overseas areas as well.
