4487 - Carrollton, Texas, United States

The sender of this card hails from Carrollton, a suburb of Dallas. It has been named in Relocated America and Money magazine's best places to live.

The card is from Zion National Park (also see Post 3731) and the Zion Angel. I will copy out what the card says about the Zion Angel:

As the story goes, a couple and their two children were hiking in Zion National Park in 1972. Young Becky wandered too close to the trail's edge and suddenly fell off a steep ledge. She dropped for 30 feet (about 9 metres) before a tree branch caught hold of her overalls. Becky hung by the branch, suspended high in the air. Her parents and older brother could not reach her.

Becky's brother began singing a hymn, beginning with the words, "Come to Zion, come to Zion; Zion's walls shall sing with praise." Shortly after he began singing, an angelic woman appeared next to Becky, lifted her from the tree branch, and then soared the 30 feet back up to Becky's family, placing her safely in the loving arms of her parents and brother. When asked, the angelic figure told the family her name was Margaret, then she disappeared.

No one saw this event occur but the family, yet Becky, her brothers, and her parents were convinced that an angel had saved Becky. Ever since the event took place, other visitors to Zion have reported sighting of the angel Margaret. They've spotted her keeping a watchful eye on all who come to explore Zion National Park.

3566 - Bakhmach, Chernihiv, Ukraine

Bakhmach is locarted in northern Ukraine. I'm taking this next paragraph straight out of Wikipedia: During the  Russian invasion of Ukraine  on February 26, 2022, at least 65 units of Russian military equipment moved through Bakhmach, with about a hundred more on the outskirts. Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards  Kyiv . One man attempted to climb onto a tank and block the road with his body (he was not hurt). However, the military equipment continued to move, and Russian forces fired several shots into the air. Слава Україні!
